Originally published in 1974, this book was the first
comprehensive study of a hitherto neglected migration - the export of
Indians to supply labour needs on sugar plantations in Mauritius, South
and East Africa, the Caribbean, Guyana, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Fiji. This
practice followed the legal ending of slavery, but Professor Tinker shows
how the two systems had much in common. |
