Abstract:
I will present the preliminary results of a large scale, multi-site, multi-period and multi-disciplinary project addressing cross-imperial migrations and processes of racialization in post-abolition plantation societies. Case studies include British Guiana, Hawaii, S Tomé, Mauritius, plantation-like industrial plants of early 20th century New England, and contemporary agribusiness in Europe.
