The same is true for indenture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The indentured system, known disparagingly as 'Coolitude', was similar to Negritude. They were two sides of the same coin, the Black slave on one side and the Brown indentured on the other. Their suffering, due to their inhuman bondage, represented one of the greatest tragedies of human history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When slavery was abolished and erased from our collective memories, UNESCO and the African States reminded us of the Slave Route. The moment has come to do the same for indenture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It is the search for identity of the indentured that offers a possible response to the dialectics of coolitude versus nationalism. It does not involve the re-writing of history but its re-interpretation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Identity in this case served as a saviour. The quest for identity continues in one form or the other. When it is not denied, it flourishes into India's great diaspora. When banished into the night, it results in conflict and war.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 05, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47500000592121,"sku":"9789357025669","price":61.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/3eZpbJQhHG9789357025669.webp?v=1773256416","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-indentured-and-their-route-a-relentless-quest-for-identity-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
