Selling their Souls: Between bound and free labour/imperial capital and the late colonial state in Asia and Australia.

在十九世纪末和二十世纪初，非自由劳工的作用一直是关于殖民主义和全球贸易蔓延的辩论的核心。关于特定殖民地的文章很多，但很少将殖民劳工作为全球现象的一部分进行研究。该项目通过比较多个欧洲殖民地的公司、工人和国家来做到这一点。它提出了理论创新的问题，综合了现有的研究，并需要新的档案研究。将在国际期刊和专著系列上发表的研究结果，将有助于就全球化对劳工的影响展开历史和当代辩论。

The role of unfree labour has been central to the debate on colonialism and the spread of global trade in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Much has been written about particular colonies, but little examines colonial labour as part of a global phenomenon. This project does so by comparing companies, workers and the state across a number of European colonies. It asks theoretically innovative questions, syntheses extant research, and requires new archival research. Findings, to be published in international journals and monograph series, will contribute to historical and contemporary debates on the impact of globalisation on labour.
