South Sea Islanders Queensland Labour Trade Hardcover DJ William Wawn 1973 Ed.

The South Sea Islanders and the Queensland Labour Trade by William T. Wawn. Edited by Peter Corris. Published by the University of Hawaii Press in 1973. The South Sea Islanders and the Queensland Labour Trade was first published in 1893. It is an exciting first hand account by William Wawn of the indigenous labor trade -- a trade never free from violence and controversy. This book is a valuable document of inter-racial contact and race relations. Dr. Peter Corris has added to Wawn's first hand account by providing information on Wawn's history and background in the introduction to this book. The book is in overall very good condition. Some very minor fraying to dust jacket, and foxing to inner cover pages.
