Abstract

Coffee has been grown on Java for the commercial market since the early eighteenth century, when the Dutch East India Company began buying from peasant producers in the Priangan highlands. What began as a commercial transaction, however, soon became a system of compulsory production. This book shows how the Dutch East India Company mobilized land and labor, why they turned to force cultivation, and what effects the brutal system they installed had on the economy and society.

Abstract

Arbeit war ein zentraler Begriff des Nationalsozialismus. Innerhalb der herzustellenden "Volksgemeinschaft" diente "Arbeit" als zentrales Praxisfeld von Inklusion der "Volksgenossinnen und Volksgenossen". In den Konzentrationslagern der Vorkriegszeit bildete Arbeit das entscheidende Mittel der "Erziehung", um Häftlinge in "Volksgenossen" zu verwandeln. Im Krieg wurde Zwangsarbeit zur entscheidenden Ressource für die Fortführung der Rüstungsproduktion. Und schließlich entschied "Arbeitsfähigkeit" über Leben und Tod von Juden, Roma und Sinti, sowjetischen Kriegsgefangenen, KZ-Häftlingen, Zwangsarbeitern. Dieser Vielschichtigkeit von Arbeit als sozialer, politischer, kultureller Praxis im Nationalsozialismus nähern sich die Beiträge des Bandes aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven an, um Kontinuitäten und Differenzen von "Arbeit im Nationalsozialismus" kenntlich zu machen. Die Beiträger/innen des Bandes stellen sich vor der Buchpublikation einem öffentlichen Reviewprozess: http://arbeit-im-nationalsozialismus.degruyter.com/

Abstract

On Coerced Labor focuses on those forms of labor relations that have been overshadowed by the “extreme” categories (wage labor and chattel slavery) in the historiography. It covers types of work lying between what the law defines as “free labor” and “slavery.” The frame of reference is the observation that although chattel slavery has largely been abolished in the course of the past two centuries, other forms of coerced labor have persisted in most parts of the world. While most nations have increasingly condemned the continued existence of slavery and the slave trade, they have tolerated labor relationships that involve violent control, economic exploitation through the appropriation of labor power, restriction of workers’ freedom of movement, and fraudulent debt obligations. Contributors are: Lisa Carstensen, Christian G. De Vito, Justin F. Jackson, Christine Molfenter, David Palmer, Nicola Pizzolato, Luis F.B. Plascencia, Magaly Rodríguez García, Kelvin Santiago-Valles, Nicole J. Siller, Marcel van der Linden, Sven Van Melkebeke.

Abstract

Angola's Colossal Lie. Forced Labor on a Sugar Plantation, 1913-1977 is the first in-depth study of forced labor on a Portuguese-owned sugar plantation in colonial Angola. A prominent Portuguese civil servant dubbed the labor system in Angola a “colossal lie” because the reality so contradicted the law. Using extensive oral history interviews with former forced laborers, Jeremy Ball explains how Angolans experienced forced labor. Ball also interviews former Portuguese administrators to provide multiple perspectives about the transition to independence and the nationalization of the plantation.

Abstract

For the first time, this book provides the global history of labor in Central Eurasia, Russia, Europe, and the Indian Ocean between the sixteenth and the twentieth centuries. It contests common views on free and unfree labor, and compares the latter to many Western countries where wage conditions resembled those of domestic servants. This gave rise to extreme forms of dependency in the colonies, not only under slavery, but also afterwards in form of indentured labor in the Indian Ocean and obligatory labor in Africa. Stanziani shows that unfree labor and forms of economic coercion were perf
