Description
This documentary collection presents selected historical records on Indian immigration to Mauritius spanning nearly a century, from 1834 to 1926. Volume II specifically examines the mechanisms of indentured labour recruitment, despatch, and allocation within Mauritian society during the British colonial era.
The documents provide invaluable insights into the administrative processes governing Indian immigrant workers, their assignment to plantations and estates, and the socioeconomic structures that sustained colonial labour systems. These primary sources offer scholars and historians direct access to official correspondence, recruitment lists, allocation records, and government directives that shaped the lives of thousands of indentured labourers.
Essential for understanding the history of Indian diaspora, colonial labour practices, and Mauritian social development, this volume serves as a crucial resource for academic research in postcolonial studies, labour history, and South Asian migration patterns.
