Description

Explore the complex history of labour transitions with The Wages of Slavery by Routledge. This scholarly work examines the shift from chattel slavery to forced labour across Africa, the Caribbean, and England during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By adopting a protoproletarian perspective, the text provides a detailed look at new labour regimes and work practices that emerged before and after emancipation. It offers a deep analysis of the working week, the balance between subsistence and surplus for both slaves and free persons, and the various ways labour negotiations and confrontations took place during this period. This book serves as a vital resource for students and researchers interested in the social sciences, legal history, and the evolution of global labour systems. It provides a clear examination of how economic structures changed as societies moved away from traditional slavery towards different forms of wage and forced labour.
