书目名称 | Convicts in the Indian Ocean | 副标题 | Transportation from | 编辑 | Clare Anderson | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | When the British took control of the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius soon after the abolition of the slave trade, they were faced with a labour-hungry and potentially hostile Franco-Mauritian plantocracy. This book explores the context in which Indian convicts were transported to the island and put to work building the infrastructure necessary to fuel the expansion of the sugar industry. Drawing on hitherto unexplored archival material, it is shown how convicts experienced transportation and integrated into the Mauritian social and economic fabric. | 出版日期 | Book 2000 | 关键词 | Expansion; India; trade | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9780230596542 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-230-59654-2 | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 2000 |
