Indian Indenture in the Straits Settlements, 1872-1910
Author: David ChanderbaliPublisher: Peepal Tree Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Based on remarkably detailed original research, this study examines 19th-century, Indian indentured-migration work in Malaysia. Tracking the arrival of the Indian people and the history of labor movements, the account analyzes similarities in the broad labor system while differentiating between distinct local elements. Free of the ethnic bias prevalent in other studies, this resource ultimately offers a better understanding of the current inter-ethnic relationships of Indian communities in the Caribbean, South Africa, Mauritius, and Fiji.
