He describes the changing relationship between different elements in the society - slave, free and maroon, and East Indian indentured populations - and shows how these were conditioned by demographic changes, world markets and local institutions. Based on thorough archival research, and thoroughly attuned to contemporary debates, this 1999 book will bring the Mauritian case to the attention of scholars engaged in the comparative study of slavery and plantation systems.  aBusiness & Economics  cENGLISH  c615519d615519  00104070aACLbACLc4Ad2026-02-25l0o338.9096 ALLp103763r2026-02-25 13:41:15w2026-02-25yENGLISH
