Extracts from the journal of Captain & Mrs. Swinton of the "Salsette"
a ship bound for the Caribbean and carrying Indian indentured labourers.
The diary of this horrific, 108 day
journey, evokes the stark terror that overshadowed the entire voyage.
Although not slavery by name, the
effect of the indentured labour movement on the lives of these migrants was
the same. Illustrated with historical black and white photographs. |
