Maternal welfare and reproductive politics on the plantation in the age of indenture, 1834-c.1920.

种植园不仅是生产的场所，也是繁殖的场所。废除奴隶制后，契约劳工在大英帝国各地的种植园里生孩子、养孩子。这个项目探讨了英国殖民政府和新兴跨国公司如何试图对种植园的生殖、母性和亲属结构施加影响。它分析了优生学、人口统计学、种族和阶级是如何影响英国的生育政治和母亲福利的。该项目追踪了种植园制度在牙买加、斐济、毛里求斯和锡兰（斯里兰卡）的再生产过程，展示了再生产政治和契约劳工制度是如何相互关联的。

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.
