The Emancipation of Bound Laborers in the Americas before the Abolition of Slavery

What were the modalities of the emancipation of unfree workers? Which factors motivated the adoption of legislation regulating emancipations? Is it possible to establish a typology of the emancipators and of the emancipated servants and slaves? To what extent did slaves and indentured servants take part in their own liberation? Did the introduction of slavery provide any negotiating power to white servants, for instance by reducing their length of service? Did the practice of emancipation evolve in reaction to the advent of abolitionism, especially after the movement gained momentum and radicalized itself?

The Italians in Lyon: urban space, national identities and representations

Pendant un siècle (1860-1960), l’immigration italienne a constitué, une part majeure des flux migratoires vers l’agglomération lyonnaise. Aussi, son histoire, qui est encore largement à écrire, peut offrir de multiples points de vue pour mieux comprendre la place assignée aux immigrants dans l’espace urbain de l’agglomération lyonnaise et au sein du monde ouvrier, pour se pencher sur l’émergence et la construction des réactions de rejet et de violence qu’ils ont pu subir, et étudier les représentations multiformes dont ils ont été l’objet au cours de la période.
