How I can use "Bury the Chains" in my essay

I can use Hochschild's book Bury the Chains, among other sources, to describe the working conditions on the sugar plantations in the Caribbean. The book goes into great detail about the practices of slave owners and will be a great source to use.

Like this zeroed in focus on the industrial revolution. Maybe even focus more on how it affected women? or kids? Whether this or otherwise, Comparing and contrasting this with slave treatment in the sugar plantations will be fascinating.
