Description

This scholarly work examines the profound economic and social transformation from chattel slavery to wage labour across Africa, the Caribbean and England during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing on protoproletarian perspectives, the book analyses new labour regimes that emerged in colonised regions, comparing work practices and living conditions before and after emancipation. The author investigates the structure of the working week, subsistence and surplus distribution for both enslaved and free workers, and traces labour negotiations and confrontations that shaped the transition to wage-based economies. Essential for understanding how colonial powers restructured exploitation through forced labour systems.
