Dr. Thomas G. Mathews:
Dr. Weller’s monograph is an historical approach to East Indian indenture from 1845 to 1917. It covers, among other topics, the system of original recruitment, the passage overseas, the character of migrant life in the West Indian host societies, British, Indian and local policies affecting the indentured worker, and the prolonged campaign for the abolition of the system. It is altogether an attempt to answer some of the questions posed with reference to the migration of alien peoples from the Old World to the New.
