Spanish invaders captured Indigenous people to build the chain of Catholic missions. Russian otter hunters shipped Alaska Natives-- the first slaves transported into California-- and launched a Pacific slave triangle to China. Plantation slaves were marched across the plains for the Gold Rush. San Quentin Prison incubated California's carceral state. Kidnapped Chinese girls were sold in caged brothels in early San Francisco. Indian boarding schools supplied new farms and hotels with unfree child workers. By looking west to California, Jean Pfaelzer upends our understanding of slavery as a North-South struggle and reveals how the enslaved in California fought, fled, and resisted human bondage. In unyielding research and vivid interviews, Pfaelzer exposes how California gorged on slavery, an appetite that persists today in a global trade in human beings lured by promises of jobs but who instead are imprisoned in sweatshops and remote marijuana grows, or sold as nannies and sex workers. Slavery shreds California's utopian brand, rewrites our understanding of the West, and redefines America's uneasy paths to freedom."-- $c Dust jacket. 650 0 $a Slavery $z California $x History. 650 0 $a Enslaved persons $z California $x History. 651 0 $a California $x History. 650 0 $a Slavery $z California $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z California $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z California $x Social conditions $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z California $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Missions, Spanish $z California $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Missions, Spanish $z California $x History $y 19th century. 650 6 $a Esclaves $z Californie $x Histoire. 651 6 $a Californie $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Peuples autochtones $z Californie $x Conditions sociales $y 18e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Peuples autochtones $z Californie $x Conditions sociales $y 19e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Missions espagnoles $z Californie $x Histoire $y 18e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Missions espagnoles $z Californie $x Histoire $y 19e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Slavery. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Enslaved persons. $2 fast 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast 651 7 $a California. $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast 830 0 $a Lamar series in western history. 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024604.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A706BC2CF31211EEA2A0228A4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
