Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This volume collects the results of an exhaustive independent study of the West Indies following the emancipation of enslaved Africans. Undertaken by a non-slaveholding American delegation in the 1830s, this invaluable work presents a full picture of a society in transition. The authors compile first-hand accounts from emancipated individuals, interviews with government officials, planters, missionaries, and other stakeholders, and an array of statistics on the health, education, and economic output of the islands. The authors find that by all measures, emancipation has been a profound success. Productivity has increased, crime has decreased, and freed peoples are thriving in all aspects of life. The authors hope that by detailing the unequivocal benefits of emancipation in the West Indies, the United States might be inspired to pursue a similar path.
