商品簡介
From two international workshops--June 2014 in Cologne and March 2015 in Havana--eight papers explore the evolution of bonded labor from slaves to coolies over the past three centuries in different parts of the world. Their topics include coolies--Asiáticos and Chinos: global dimensions of second slavery, coolie transformations: uncovering the changing meaning and labor relations of coolie labor in the Dutch Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries, contract labor and debt bondage in the Arab Gulf states: policies and practices with the kafala system, and re-presenting and narrating labor: coolie migration in the Caribbean.
