A Narrative of Events, since the First of August, 1834, by James Williams, an Apprenticed Labourer in Jamaica

About A Narrative of Events, since the First of August, 1834, by James Williams, an Apprenticed Labourer in Jamaica

Describing the hard working conditions on plantations and harsh treatment of apprentices unjustly incarcerated, this book argues that apprenticeship actually worsened the conditions of Jamaican ex-slaves: former owners, no longer legally permitted to directly punish their workers, used the Jamaican legal system as a punitive lever against them.
