This migration took place between roughly the 1650s and about the middle of the nineteenth century when the slave trade was finally abolished. The book offers a short account of the condition in which the Bengali slaves found themselves and in the Cape peninsular society following their dispersal during these early times. It highlights new social formations in the Cape society, especially among the Coloured in South Africa"--Back cover.  aENH  aSlaveryzSouth AfricazCape of Good Hope.959756  aEnslaved personszIndiazBengalxHistory.959757  aEnslaved personszSouth AfricazCape of Good HopevBiography.959758  aBengal (India).xHistory.  aCape of Good Hope (South Africa)xHistory.959759  aAyesha Abed LibrarycGeneral Stacks  cBK2ddc  c47613d47613  00102ddc4070aBRACULbBRACULcGENd2025-10-27eBook Finder Internationalg4721.00l1o306.362 DATp3010044992r2025-12-21s2025-12-14t2v9442.00w2025-10-27yBK  00102ddc4070aBRACULbBRACULcGENd2025-10-27eBook Finder Internationalg4721.00l0o306.362 DATp3010044991r2025-10-27t1v9442.00w2025-10-27yBK
