In Indentured Labor; Caribbean Sugar Walton Look Lai offers the first comprehensive study of Asian immigration and the indenture system in the entire British West Indies―with particular emphasis on the experiences of indentured laborers in the major receiving colonies of British Guyana; Trinidad; and Jamaica. Exploring living and working conditions as well as the makeup of immigrant communities and their cultures; Look Lai offers a "dialectical pluralist" model of Caribbean acculturation that contrasts with the more familiar "melting pot" or "pure pluralist" model.

It will help me immensely in understanding what I need for my Poly Sci class!10 of 12 people found the following review helpful. GoodBy eunomiusThis work provides a good survey of Jefferson's political thought; as well as an excellent piece concerning the intellectual battle over the classical republican paradigm. This piece; by the way; is well worth the price of the book. Nevertheless; although this is a worthy work; it pales in comparison to David N. Mayer's "The Constitutional Thought of Thomas Jefferson." If you are truly interested in Jefferson's political thought; Mayer's is the foremost work on the subject.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Dr. Sheldon's GeniusBy A. R. SteeleI have had Dr. Sheldon for several classes; and his books are amazing. He has written many works that any Political Science major would grow from reading. Dr. Sheldon has an amazing grasp of Thomas Jefferson and his Encyclopedia of Political Thought is the most complete volume I have ever seen.
