Item Details

Description

Heading: (Cuba - Chinese)
Author:
Title: Five servitude contracts for Chinese individuals in Cuba
Place Published:
Publisher:
Date Published: 1865-1871
Description: 5 accomplished forms. 31x21 cm (12¼x8¼“).Contracts entering individuals from China into labor contracts, or indentured servitude, in Matanzas, Cuba in the late 19th century. The forms differ slightly but are tailored specifically to laborers from Asia. Article 5 is particularly notable as it has the individual explicitly acknowledge that their salary is much lower than day laborers and even legal slaves on the island, due to the supposed extra services their employer provides: “Yo [nombre] me conformo con el salario estipulado, aunque sé y me consta que es mucho mayor el que ganan los journaleros libres y esclavos de esta Isla...“
