Voices from Indenture: Experiences of Indian Migrants in the British Empire

Fitting in with the emphasis of the series on studying movements of people that have been little researched and written about in the past, this volume focuses on the Indian labor diaspora. The author draws on 19th-century material from Mauritius, the Caribbean, Fiji, Natal, and Reunion, much of it letters of indentured or time-expired laborers and their families, and much of it previously unpublished. Coverage includes the experiences of recruitment and the voyage overseas, the working lives of indentured Indians, personal lives of Indian migrants, and new horizonsthe world beyond indenture.
