"White cargo is the forgotten story of the thousands of Britons who lived and died in bondage in Briatin's American colonies." "Drawing on letters crying for help, diaries, and court and government archives, Jordan and Walsh demonstrate that the brutalities usually associated with black slavery alone were perpetrated on whites throughout British rule." --book jacket.

Review: White Cargo: The Forgotten History of Britain's White Slaves in America

Avis d'utilisateur  - Sarah Fournier - Goodreads
