Reseña del libro "emigrants in chains. a social history of the forced emigration to the americas of felons, destitute children, political and religious non-conformists, (en Inglés)"
By the time America made her Declaration of Independence in 1776, the prisons of England had disgorged some 50,000 of their inmates to the colonies, most of them destined to survive and, with their descendants, to populate the land of their exile. This book focuses on the emergence and use of transportation as a means of dealing with this unwanted population, dwelling at length on the processes involved, the men charged with the administration of the system of transportation or engaged in transportation as a business, then proceeding with a fascinating look at the transportees themselves, their lives and hapless careers, and their reception in the colonies.
