Labor and Rights in Eurasia from the Sixteenth to the Early Twentieth Centuries

Beschreibung

Provides the first global history of labor in Central Eurasia, Russia, Europe and the Indian Ocean between the 17th and the 20th century. Provides a new iconoclastic view of Russian serfdom and European labor during the industrial revolution. Provides a new link between the evolution of coerced labour (slavery, serfdom and Indentured labour) in Eurasia and the Indian Ocean and the dynamics of free labour in the West. It overcomes the distinction between colonial studies and european history. Advances a new chronology of modernization.
