Description:

Pictures called Two sisters, East Indian Coolies and Arawak Family , from Case, On Land and Sea , 1910. Indian people were used as indentured sevants.

The language used to describe people of Asian descent in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries is unacceptable in today’s terms. We cannot avoid using this language in its original context. To change the words would impose 20th century attitudes on history.

Creator: Case

Date: 1910
