Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Hardcover. A collection of essays grappling with the many, often overlooked, forms of unfree labor in the West. When Americans think of unfree laborcoerced, extracted from workers unable to freely enter and exit contractswhat comes to mind is Black slavery and peonage in the South. But other forms of unfree labor also built the United States. Collecting a diverse range of sharply argued historical essays, Capturing Labor shares the story of unfree labor in the Southwest, affecting mainly Indigenous people, Mexican Americans, and people of color. In Texas and elsewhere, state agents developed various methods for directing the movement of workers, seizing their time, and controlling the products of their efforts. Case studies highlight the detention during World War I of Indigenous children and unaccompanied women, who were placed in boarding schools, fined, and obligated to work off the resulting debt. Other essays expose authorities forcing workers to break strikes and jailing Americans who supported labor uprisings in rural Mexico and the United States. Prisons and asylums supplied coerced agricultural workers and musicians who were never compensated for their labor or by the labels that took their recordings. Editors Jessica Pliley and John Mckiernan-GonzAlez contend that unfree labor continues to shape American life, and is all around us today. Understanding its history aids us in recognizing and bringing attention to the grim realities of the present. A collection of essays grappling with the many, often overlooked, forms of unfree labor in the West Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
