The history of the forms of "free" labour is intimately linked to that of coerced labour. In this book, worldwide acknowledged specialists of Russia, China, Russia, Japan, India, the Indian Ocean, France and Britain show that between the seventeenth and the twentieth century, forms of labour and bondage were defined and practised in reference to each other. Labour relationships found their sources not only in the global circulation of models, peoples, goods and institutions, but also in market dynamics. Proto-industry, agriculture, trade and manufacturing experienced unprecedented growth throughout Eurasia. Mostly labour-intensive, this long-term growth put considerable pressure on labour resources and contributed to increased coercion and legal constraints on labour mobility in both Asia and Europe.

Alessandro Stanziani, Ph.D in history, Ph.D in Economics, is full professor at the EHESS and Senior Researcher at the CNRS (Paris). He has published about 100 articles and chapters and four monographies on Russian, European and the Indian Ocean history.

Contributors include: Claude Chevaleyre (EHESS, Paris), Claude Markovits (CNRS, Paris), Simon F. Deakin (Cambridge University), Ulbe Bosma (IISG, Amsterdam), Gwyn Campbell (Mcgill University), Mary Louise Nagata (Francis Marion University), Pierre Vernus (University Lyon).
