Book Synopsis A Guide to Sources for the History of the Danish West Indies (U.S. Virgin Islands), 1671-1917 by : Erik Gøbel
Download or read book A Guide to Sources for the History of the Danish West Indies (U.S. Virgin Islands), 1671-1917 written by Erik Gøbel and published by University Press of Southern Denmark. This book was released on 2002 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Danish West Indies - the islands of St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix - were a traditional Caribbean colony, characterized by sugar production, trade, and shipping. The colony was under the Danish flag from 1671 until 1917, since which time the islands have been known as the United States Virgin Islands. The archival sources for the history of the three islands are first and foremost in the Danish National Archives. These records are exceptionally comprehensive and their research potential is enormously rich, as the Danes have been meticulous in documenting almost everything that happened in the colony and in preserving the records. The Danish archival sources are therefore unique historical resources today. This book is a thorough guide to the vast Danish West Indian material in Denmark.

Book Synopsis For the Health of the Enslaved by : Niklas Thode Jensen
Download or read book For the Health of the Enslaved written by Niklas Thode Jensen and published by Museum Tusculanum Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first half of the 19th century, the safeguarding of the health of the enslaved workers became a central concern for plantation owners and colonial administrators in the Danish West Indies. With the end of the slave trade, the longstanding excess mortality in the hardworking enslaved population became a crucial problem for the colony because the slaves could no longer be replaced. This book explores the health conditions of the enslaved workers and the health policies initiated by planters and the colonial government. The investigation reveals that, in a comparative Caribbean perspective, Danish West Indian health policies were often quite unique and efficient, but also that the health of the enslaved was a contested field, showing an ongoing power struggle between the planters, the colonial administration, and the slaves themselves.

Book Synopsis Indian Indenture in the Danish West Indies, 1863-1873 by : Lomarsh Roopnarine
Download or read book Indian Indenture in the Danish West Indies, 1863-1873 written by Lomarsh Roopnarine and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive analysis of Denmark’s solitary experiment with Indian indentured labor on St. Croix during the second half of the nineteenth century. The book focuses on the recruitment, transportation, plantation labor, re-indenture, repatriation, remittances and abolition of Indian indentured experience on the island. In doing so, Roopnarine has produced a compelling narrative on Indian indenture. The laborers challenged and responded accordingly to their daily indentured existence using their cultural strengths to cohere and co-exist in a planter-dominated environment. Laborers had to create opportunities for themselves using their homeland customs without losing the focus that someday they would return home. Indentured Indians understood that the plantation system would not be flexible to them but rather they had to be flexible to plantation system. Roopnarine’s concise analysis has moved Indian indenture from the margin to mainstream not only in the historiography of the Danish West Indies, but also in the wider Caribbean where Indians were indentured.
