The transition from chattel slavery to forced labour in Africa and the Caribbean during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has commanded increasing attention from scholars in recent years. The Wages of Slavery tackles this subject from a protoproletarian perspective, studies new labour regimes in Africa and the Caribbean, and discusses work practices before and after emancipation the nature of the working week, subsistence and surplus for slaves and free person, and labour negotiations and confrontations.
A proto-proletarian approach to the shift from chattel slavery to forced labor after emancipation, focusing on the trickery, political manipulation, and brutality workers suffered when their former masters were no longer responsible for their welfare. Most of the 11 essays were written by historians, but an economist and an ethnicity scholar are also represented. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

reviewed The Wages of Slavery on January 22, 2018 The Wages of Slavery
I read various chapters of this book to gain an understanding of the lives my ancestors experienced prior to their emmigration to Australia in 1848/49. I am fascinated and delighted with the way Brose has meticulously researched this history. A heavy read of course, but Brose is able to capture the political machinations of the turbulant times post Napolean. So many interests at stake - the royal families, the nobles, the professional trades - all tipped upside down after Napoleon cut a swathe through their territories. Devastation often being followed by some surprisingly forward thinking reforms, some to be continued, some to be demolished and governance to return to the old ways. These times were constantly changing with the 'little' people being caught in the wake. This really does help me understand why my ancestors were keen to try their luck by taking a dangerous journey across the oceans to an unkown land. The Chapter I read in particular for my research was Chapter 14, The Revolutions of 1848 and 1849.
