During the 19th century, Mauritius was Britain's prime sugar-producing colony, yet, unlike the West Indies, its history has remained significantly under-researched. The modern demographic of multi-ethnic Mauritius is unusual as, in the absence of an indigenous people, descendants of colonists, slaves and indentured labourers constitute the majority of the island's population today. Thus, it may be said that the Mauritian nation was "assembled" during the period in question. This work draws on an in-depth examination of the two labour systems through which the island came to be populated: slavery and indenture. In studying the relevant laws, four legal events of historical importance within the context of these two labour systems are identified: the abolition of the slave trade, the abolition of slavery, private indentured labour migration and state-regulated indenture. This book is notable in that it presents a legal analysis of core historical events, thus straddling the line between two disciplines, and covers both slavery and indentured labour in Mauritian history. Mauritius, as an originally uninhabited island, presents a rare case study for inquiries into colonial legacies, multiculturalism and race consciousness. The book will be a valuable resource to scholars worldwide in the fields of slavery, indenture, and the legal apparatus of forced labour"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Law $x History $z Mauritius $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $x History $z Mauritius $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Indentured servants $x History $z Mauritius $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z Mauritius $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Labor laws and legislation $z Mauritius $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Mauritius $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Indentured servants $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01425605 650 7 $a Labor laws and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00989967 650 7 $a Law $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993813 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 650 7 $a Slavery $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120465 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Mauritius. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205325 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781000832846 830 0 $a Routledge research in legal history 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011211.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4FB9E3342E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
