Résumé
The White Slaves of England, written by J. Cobden, is a powerful exposé of the harsh realities faced by the working class in Victorian England. First published in the mid-19th century, the book draws a stark comparison between the conditions of English laborers and the chattel slavery of the American South, arguing that the so-called free workers of England endure a form of bondage just as cruel and dehumanizing.
Through detailed accounts, personal testimonies, and investigative reporting, Cobden reveals the appalling circumstances in which men, women, and even children toil in factories, mines, and workshops. The narrative delves into the long hours, meager wages, dangerous environments, and lack of legal protections that define the lives of these white slaves. The book also examines the social, economic, and political forces that perpetuate this system of exploitation, critiquing the indifference of the upper classes and the failures of government reform.
With its vivid descriptions and passionate advocacy, The White Slaves of England stands as a landmark work in the history of social reform literature, shedding light on the urgent need for justice and dignity for all workers.
