Plantations were not only sites of production, but also of reproduction. After the abolition of slavery, indentured labourers were having babies and raising children on plantation grounds across the British Empire. This project explores how the British colonial government and emerging multinational corporations tried to assert influence over reproduction, maternity and kinship structures on plantations. It analyses how eugenics, demography, race and class shaped British reproductive politics and maternal welfare provision. Tracing how plantation regimes were reproduced across Jamaica, Fiji, Mauritius and Ceylon (Sri Lanka), this project shows how reproductive politics and indentured labour regimes were interconnected.

种植园不仅是生产场所，也是再生产场所。奴隶制废除后，契约劳工在大英帝国各地的种植园生儿育女。这个项目探讨了英国殖民政府和新兴的跨国公司如何试图对种植园的生殖，母性和亲属关系结构施加影响。它分析了优生学、人口学、种族和阶级如何塑造了英国的生育政治和孕产妇福利。该项目追踪种植园制度如何在牙买加、斐济、毛里求斯和锡兰（斯里兰卡）复制，显示生殖政治和契约劳工制度如何相互关联。
