After the abolition of slavery in the Indian Ocean and Africa, the
world of labor remained unequal, exploitative, and violent,
straddling a fine line between freedom and unfreedom. This book
explains why. Unseating the Atlantic paradigm of bondage and
drawing from a rich array of colonial, estate, plantation and
judicial archives, Alessandro Stanziani investigates the evolution
of labor relationships on the Indian subcontinent, the Indian Ocean
and Africa, with case studies on Assam, the Mascarene Islands and
the French Congo. He finds surprising relationships between African
and Indian abolition movements and European labor practices,
inviting readers to think in terms of trans-oceanic connections
rather than simple oppositions. Above all, he considers how the
meaning and practices of freedom in the colonial world differed
profoundly from those in the mainland. Arguing for a multi-centered
view of imperial dynamics, Labor on the Fringes of Empire is a
pioneering global history of nineteenth-century labor.
