Review:
"[A] vividly written book....WHITE CARGO is meticulously sourced and footnoted...but it is never dry or academic....The authors are not only historians, but also natural storytellers with a fine sense of drama and character"
Joyce Hor-Chung Lau, New York Times Book Review, 04/27/2008

Book Description: New York University Press, United States, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 220 x 151 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. White Cargo is the forgotten story of the thousands of Britons who lived and died in bondage in Britain's American colonies.In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, more than 300,000 white people were shipped to America as slaves. Urchins were swept up from London's streets to labor in the tobacco fields, where life expectancy was no more than two years. Brothels were raided to provide "breeders" for Virginia. Hopeful migrants were duped into signing as indentured servants, unaware they would become personal property who could be bought, sold, and even gambled away. Transported convicts were paraded for sale like livestock.Drawing on letters crying for help, diaries, and court and government archives, Don Jordan and Michael Walsh demonstrate that the brutalities usually associated with black slavery alone were perpetrated on whites throughout British rule. The trade ended with American independence, but the British still tried to sell convicts in their former colonies, which prompted one of the most audacious plots in Anglo-American history.This is a saga of exploration and cruelty spanning 170 years that has been submerged under the overwhelming memory of black slavery. White Cargo brings the brutal, uncomfortable story to the surface. Bookseller Inventory # FLT9780814742969 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
