Bonded Labour and Debt in the Indian Ocean World

More about the book

Focusing on the issue of debt bondage, this collection of essays presents case studies that examine its implications within the context of a globalized economy. It explores the effects of increased commercialization, as well as the historical and contemporary influences of colonial and post-colonial societies, particularly in emerging economies. The volume provides a critical analysis of how these factors intertwine to shape the experience of debt bondage today.
