4.0

Fascinating study of convict labor in the British empire of the 19th century. Anderson's research is terrific. Stylistically the book is hampered by her constant telling us what she is arguing. It distracts from the power of her primary source findings. Still, this is a must-read for anyone interested in global labor and/or imperial history.
