''Compulsory Manumission; or, An Examination of the Actual State of the West India Question'' is a critical work by Alexander McDonnell, first published in 1827. The book examines the implications of compulsory manumission within the context of British colonial policy on slavery in the West Indies. McDonnell critiques the economic and moral arguments surrounding slavery, addressing the concerns of colonial planters while emphasizing the welfare of the enslaved population. This work engages with contemporary abolitionist discourses and reflects the socio-political dynamics of its time.
