内容説明

This work provides a study of Asian immigration and the indenture system in the British West Indies - with particular emphasis on the experiences of indentured labourers in the major receiving colonies of British Guyana, Trinidad and Jamaica. Exploring living and working conditions, as well as the make-up of immigrant communities and their cultures, Look Lai offers a "dialectical pluralist" model of Caribbean acculturation that contrasts with the more familiar "melting pot" or "pure pluralist" models. He addresses a variety of social and economic factors, such as: the forms of labour other than indenture; the ethnic and racial make-up of the colonial population; and the connection between agricultural and commercial development. He also examines the immediate post-indenture period in order to follow the relationship of former "coolies" to the plantation system and to agriculture in general.
