In Convict Labor in the Portuguese Empire , Timothy J. Coates examines the role of large numbers of convicts in Portuguese Africa from 1800 until 1932. This work examines the numbers, rationale, and realities of convict labor (largely) in Angola during this period, but Mozambique is a secondary area, as well as late colonial times in Brazil. This is a unique, first study of an experiment in convict labor in Africa directed by a European power; it will be welcomed by scholars of Africa and New Imperialism, as well as those interested in law and labor.European expansion and indigenous response ;v. 13.Convict laborPortugalColoniesHistoryPortugalColoniesEmigration and immigrationHistoryElectronic books.Convict laborColoniesHistory.331.11/73Coates Timothy J.1952-869334MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465026903321Convict labor in the Portuguese empire, 1740-19321940782UNINA
