Studies of fugitive slaves have frequently failed to ask important questions about maroonage, and especially about the extent to which and why maroon activity changea through time. Similar problems characterize much of the work on the " new system of slavery " that developed during the nineteenth century as indentured laborers from India and Asia replaced slaves asfield hands in much of the colonial plantation world. The Mauritian case study allows us to look beyond the scholarly preoccupation with the legal and quasi-legal dimensions of labor control and résistance in colonial plantation Systems and examine the nature and dynamics of illegal absence, desertion, and vagrancy in a more comprehensive framework
