This book focuses on subjugated indentured Indian women, who are
constantly faced with race, gender, caste, and class oppression and
inequality on overseas European-owned plantations, but who are also
armed with latent links to the women's abolition movements in the
homeland. Also examining their post-indenture life, it employs a
paradigm of male-dominated Indian women in India at the margins of
an enduringly patriarchal society, a persisting backdrop to the
huge 19th century post-slavery movement of the agricultural
indentured workforce drawn largely from India. This book depicts
the antithetical and contradictory explanations for the indentured
Indian women's cries, degradation and dehumanization and how the
politics of change and control impacted their social organization
and its legacy. The book owes its origins to the 2017 centennial
commemorative event celebrating 100 years of the abolition of the
indenture system of Indian labor that victimized and dehumanized
Indians from 1834 through 1917.
