This collection of seventeen essays takes its inspiration from the
scholarly achievements of the Dutch historian Jan Lucassen. They
reflect a central theme in his research: the history of labor. The
essays deal with five major themes: the production of specific
commodities or services (diamonds, indigo, cigarettes, mail
delivery by road runners); occupational groups (informal street
vendors, prostitutes, soldiers, white-collar workers in the Dutch
East India Company, VOC); geographical and social mobility (career
opportunities on non-Dutch officers in the VOC, immigration into
early-modern Holland; the influence of migrants on labor
productivity; income differentials as migration incentives);
contexts of labor relations (late medieval labor laws, subsistence
labor and female paid labor, Russian peasant-migrant laborers,
diverging political trajectories of cane-sugar industries); and the
origins of labor-history libraries and archives.
