After slavery, forms of indentured labor met global capitalism's need for cheap, disposable labor. Through revealing examples of bonded labor in the grey area between the poles of chattel slavery and 'free' wage labor, this interdisciplinary volume addresses unfree labor relations from the eighteenth century to the present day.
