Transport labour has been a fundamental feature in every economic
system and in every epoch of humanity worldwide. This volume
considers the history of labour in transport from 1750 to 1950, in
the context of globalisation and the evolution of capitalism. The
nine articles presented in this collective work span these two
centuries and address a largely neglected aspect of labour history
in transport: the stories from the Global South (Africa, Asia and
Latin America). The transport sectors touched upon in these studies
are wide-ranging, encompassing a variety of workers, from porters
to boatmen in India, from Mongolian caravanners to Filipino
rickshaw drivers, from truck drivers to postal runners in west
Africa, from wage-earning slave porters to immigrant railway
workers in the cities of Brazil. These histories from the South are
a constitutive part of the global history of labour.
