"Resisting Bondage in Indian Ocean Africa and Asia" is the
companion volume to Slavery and Resistance in Africa and Asia which
was published by Routledge in 2005. This second volume, as implied
by the title, recognizes the complexity of forms of bondage in the
Indian Ocean world - incorporating regions running from East Africa
to the Middle East, to South and Southeast Asia to the Far East -
and of resistance to them. Slavery, in the conventional sense of
the word, was in the region covered one of many, often overlapping,
forms of unfree labor that included, in addition, various types of
forced or corvee labor, debt bondage and indentured or contract
labor. This volume examines resistance to forms of bondage in a
variety of precolonial, colonial and postcolonial regimes, from
revolt against slavery in South Africa, to resistance to colonial
forced labor schemes in Somalia, the Indian Ocean islands of
Mayotte and Madagascar, India, Indonesia and Indochina, and the
fight of Aborigines for human rights on the cattle ranches of
Northern Australia. Just as the companion volume Slavery and
Resistance in Africa and Asia revealed that reactions to slavery in
Africa and Asia were far more complex than the conventional
historical emphasis on forms of 'revolt' implies, this collection
of essays reveals an unexpectedly wide range of often very subtle
forms of resistance to a variety of repressive labor regimes in the
Indian Ocean world. In so doing, it will appeal to all those
interested in exploring the wider debate over the structure of
unfree labor regimes and resistance to them.
