"In this wide-ranging social and economic history of Mauritius, from its permanent settlement in 1721 to the beginnings of modern political life in the mid-1930s, Richard Allen discusses the important role of domestic capital in shaping the island's development as a sugar colony. He describes the changing relationship between the sugar industry and different elements in Mauritian society - slaves, free persons of color and East Indian indentured laborers - and shows how these were shaped by demographic change, world markets, and local institutions."--Jacket.
