Description matérielle : 1 vol. (xxiii, 357 pages) : illustrations, maps ; 22 cm
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
This volume suggests a new way of doing global history. Instead of offering a sweeping
and generalizing overview of the past, we propose a 'micro-spatial' approach, combining
micro-history with the concept of space. A focus on primary sources and awareness
of the historical discontinuities and unevennesses characterizes the global history
that emerges here. We use labour as our lens in this volume. The resulting micro-spatial
history of labour addresses the management and recruitment of labour, its voluntary
and coerced spatial mobility, its political perception and representation and the
workers' own agency and social networks. The individual chapters are written by contributors
whose expertise covers the late medieval Eastern Mediterranean to present-day Sierra
Leone, through early modern China and Italy, eighteenth-century Cuba and the Malvinas/Falklands,
the journeys of a missionary between India and Brazil and those of Christian captives
across the Ottoman empire and Spain. The result is a highly readable volume that addresses
key theoretical and methodological questions in historiography.
