  • The paper describes the nature and role of accounting during apprenticeship - the transition period from slavery to waged labor in the British West Indies. Planters, colonial legislators, and Parliamentary leaders all feared that freed slaves would flee to open lands unless they were bound to plantations.

Our main findings indicate that there are no evidential gender differences in attitudes and practices following the logic of biological sex, when considering nature and resource m...
