Sinopsis

''The Ordeal of Free Labor in the British West Indies'' by William G. Sewell is a historical account of the transition from slavery to free labor in the British colonies of the Caribbean. The book explores the challenges and complexities of the post-emancipation period, including the struggles of newly freed slaves to establish themselves as independent workers, the economic pressures facing plantation owners, and the political tensions arising from the clash between colonial authorities and the demands of the newly enfranchised population. Sewell draws on a wide range of archival sources to provide a detailed and nuanced analysis of this pivotal moment in Caribbean history, offering insights into the social, economic, and political forces that shaped the region in the aftermath of slavery. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the British West Indies, the legacy of slavery, and the ongoing struggle for economic and political justice in the region.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
