      abstract = {"Catherine Higgs traces the early-twentieth-century  journey of the Englishman Joseph Burtt to the Portuguese  colony of São Tomé and Príncipe--the chocolate  islands--through Angola and Mozambique, and finally to  British Southern Africa. Burtt had been hired by the  chocolate firm Cadbury Brothers Limited to determine if the  cocoa it was buying from the islands had been harvested by  slave laborers forcibly recruited from Angola, an  allegation that became one of the grand scandals of the  early colonial era. Burtt spent six months on São Tomé and  Príncipe and a year in Angola. His five-month march across  Angola in 1906 took him from innocence and credulity to  outrage and activism and ultimately helped change labor  recruiting practices in colonial Africa.},
