Anderson\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClare Anderson is Lecturer in Economic and Social History at the University of Leicester.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 27, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45776857923781,"sku":"9780333761120","price":178.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/Cs59JQTy1m9780333761120_4d3dd8dc-c60f-4fc3-a99a-fb92a073f3b8.webp?v=1770553353","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/convicts-in-the-indian-ocean-transportation-from-south-asia-to-mauritius-1815-53-hardcover-3","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
