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

Abstract

In februari 2007 rijdt de recherche de Porsche Cayenne van Saban B. klem. Het onderzoek naar deze Turkse pooier maakt duidelijk dat grootscheepse mensenhandel in Nederland nog steeds bestaat. En zijn bende is niet de enige: honderden Nederlandse meisjes belanden jaarlijks onder dwang in de prostitutie, en er zijn taaie Nigeriaanse, Hongaarse, Roemeense, Bulgaarse en Chinese netwerken. Prostitutie mag in Nederland dan sinds 2000 legaal zijn, de mensenhandel is daarmee bepaald niet verdwenen. Mensenhandel beperkt zich bovendien niet tot prostitutie. Aspergestekers, aardbeienplukkers, huishoudsters, koks, standwerkers, schoonmakers, au pairs: er duiken steeds nieuwe voorbeelden op van mannen en vrouwen die gedwongen werken in schrijnende omstandigheden. Jaarlijks worden zo'n duizend slachtoffers geregistreerd, maar het werkelijke aantal is een veelvoud daarvan. Dit alles gebeurt in Nederland - bij u om de hoek. Hoe kan dat? Journalistic report on the practice of "modern slavery" in the Netherlands among women, men, young children.

Abstract

Septembre 1944. Les Alliés libèrent le Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, la Belgique et une partie des Pays-Bas. Ils repoussent ainsi les troupes allemandes au-delà de leurs propres frontières. Conséquence logique de cette situation : les collaborateurs et leurs divers organismes se réfugient in extremis en Allemagne. Parmi ces derniers se trouve le Service des Volontaires du Travail pour la Wallonie dont le titre a été usurpé par les Rexistes depuis le mois de mai 1944. Installé dans le Hanovre sous la nouvelle appellation de Service du Travail Wallon ( obligatoire ), il va accueillir, dès le mois d'octobre 1944, dans divers camps, des centaines de jeunes travailleurs wallons frappés par des mesures de mobilisation générale décrétées par le frais émoulu Volksfùhrer des Wallons, Léon Degrelle. Ces mesures ne visent en fait que l'incorporation pure et simple de jeunes travailleurs en guise de troupes fraîches au sein de la tristement célèbre Waffen-SS. DE L'USINE A LA WAFFEN-SS révèle l'histoire dramatique de ces " Requis ", victimes de la contrainte morale et physique exercée par les sergents recruteurs à la solde de Léon Degrelle. Ces " volontaires ", obligés d'endosser l'uniforme feldgrau de la Waffen-SS, furent, au terme d'une brève période d'instruction, conduits sous bonne garde sur le front de l'Oder en vue d'y rejoindre les rangs de la Division Wallonie engagée dans des combats d'arrière-garde. Ce sujet inédit et encore inconnu du grand public a toujours été, de par sa complexité, négligé par les historiens. Eddy De Bruyne, déjà auteur d'un livre sur Léon Degrelle, nous présente ici une étude qui a le mérite de faire toute la lumière sur le sort réservé par Degrelle aux travailleurs wallons en Allemagne après la libération de la Belgique. Cinquante ans après les événements, cet ouvrage restitue de manière fidèle l'histoire de la plus importante contrainte militaire, l'enrôlement forcé de jeunes ouvriers belges dans les rangs de la Waffen-SS entre 1944 et 1945.

Abstract

Building the Atlantic Empires explores the relationship between state recruitment of unfree labor and capitalist and imperial development. Contributors show Western European states as agents of capitalist expansion, imposing diverse forms of bondage on workers for infrastructural, plantation, and military labor. Extending the prolific literature on racial slavery, these essays help transcend imperial, colonial, geographic, and historiographic boundaries through comparative insights into multiple forms and ideologies of unfree labor as they evolved over the course of four centuries in the Dutch, French, English, Spanish, and Portuguese empires. The book raises new questions for scholars seeking connections between the history of servitude and slavery and the ways in which capitalism and imperialism transformed the Atlantic world and beyond. Contributors are: Pepijn Brandon, Rafael Chambouleyron, James Coltrain, John Donoghue, Karwan Fatah-Black, Elizabeth Heath, Evelyn P. Jennings, and Anna Suranyi. With a foreword by Peter Way.

Abstract

Although slavery is illegal throughout the world, we learned from Kevin Bales's highly praised exposé, Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy, that more than twenty-seven million people-in countries from Pakistan to Thailand to the United States--are still trapped in bondage. With this new volume, Bales, the leading authority on modern slavery, looks beyond the specific instances of slavery described in his last book to explore broader themes about slavery's causes, its continuation, and how it might be ended. Written to raise awareness and deepen understanding, and touching again on individual lives around the world, this book tackles head-on one of the most urgent and difficult problems facing us today. Each of the chapters in Understanding Global Slavery explores a different facet of global slavery. Bales investigates slavery's historical roots to illuminate today's puzzles. He explores our basic ideas about what slavery is and how the phenomenon fits into our moral, political, and economic worlds. He seeks to explain how human trafficking brings people into our cities and how the demand for trafficked workers, servants, and prostitutes shapes modern slavery. And he asks how we can study and measure this mostly hidden crime. Throughout, Bales emphasizes that to end global slavery, we must first understand it. This book is a step in that direction.

Abstract

"Death Comes in Yellow"" presents the history of one slave labor camp in order to shed light on all aspects of the slave labor camps established in Poland under German occupation. Hasag-Skarzysko was one of hundreds of camps scattered throughout occupied Poland. They were distinguished by size, the nationality of the prisoners, their location, the date of their establishment, and the authority in charge. The large number of labor camps reflected the German policy of exploiting the work forces of the occupied countries. These camps were part of a Europe-wide system of forced labor.The fir
