Slavery in English Kenya
August 12, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

In Portuguese Africa records which, prove that the natives enter into labor contracts with a free will are kept for the English to see. Recently Englishmen have been looking into their own records in Kenya. The report of the Parliamentary Commission sent out to East Africa by the British Government has aroused a great deal of discussion. The question which the commissioners had to face was whether this system should be definitely repudiated, not only in word but in fact, or whether it should be condoned and allowed to develop to its only logical conclusion, which is a semi-servile, landless, discontented population of uneducated Africans bound to work for low wages for a handful of white masters.
