  Indentured Migrant Labor and Indentured Laborers in the Heart of Colonial Empires

  State of the field and research perspectives, 17th-21st centuries

  As bonded labor, slavery and the slave trade were being debated, condemned and gradually forbidden by colonial and imperial powers, projects advocating the use of indentured migrant labor emerged. This international conference intends to contribute to a reconsideration of the historiography of the indenture system, the latter having been too often fragmented by Empire, colony, or group of indentured laborers. We thus wish to bring together specialists working on different regions, empires or colonies, on different periods and issues, so as to encourage comparative, cross and comprehensive studies on the many questions raised by the indenture system.
