I vincoli del lavoro come specchio e come lente. Gallo legge Stanziani

Slavery as a Mirror and Lens. Gallo reviews a book by Stanziani and introduces the Italian reader to one of the most influential authors of recent global labor history. It is a dense, articulate book that seeks to give real historical substance to the various forms of bondage and coercion, considering cases in Russia, France, England, and Mauritius. It can be read as a methodological lesson on the analysis of enslavement, a perspective needed to bridge the gap between slavery studies and migration studies, as well as between the history of social protection and the history of colonial labor.
