A Narrative of Events, since the First of August, 1834, by James Williams, an Apprenticed Labourer in Jamaica - Latin America Otherwise Annotated edition
James Williams
Describing the hard working conditions on plantations and the harsh treatment of apprentices unjustly incarcerated, this book argues that apprenticeship actually worsened the conditions of Jamaican ex-slaves: former owners, no longer legally permitted to directly punish their workers, used Jamaican legal system as a punitive lever against them.
