Transition from Slavery in Zanzibar and Mauritius.

Dakar: CODESRIA , 2016. 182 p. Soft. ISBN 9782869786806.  In English

This book presents a comparative history of slavery and the transition from slavery to free labour in Zanzibar and Mauritius, within the context of a wider comparative study of the subject in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds. Both countries are islands, with roughly the same size of area and populations, a common colonial history, and both are multicultural societies. However, despite inhabiting and using the same oceanic space, there are differences in experiences and structures which deserve to be explored.
