A history of East Indian resistance on the Guyana sugar estates, 1869-1948

"Denying concept of East Indian docility and conservatism, author argues that their militancy, especially on sugar estates where they were exploited, demonstrates their willingness and ability to champion their rights. Links this trait to aggressive nature of their 20th-century political efforts to enhance material conditions of workers"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
