商品簡介
Banivanua-Mar (colonial and human rights history, U. of Melbourne) tells how, from 1865, around 60,000 men, women, and children from diverse islands in the southwestern Pacific were brought to the British colony of Queensland to work for at least three years in the sugar industry; when slavery was abolished, the practice continued another four decades until the Australian colonies decided to federate as a white nation, at which time all the colored labor was deported. She recounts not only the events but also the consequences for all the peoples and territories involved. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
