Inhoudsopgave:
- Ending slavery and creating empire in Africa: from the "Indelible stain" to the "light of civilization"
- From law to practice: "certain excesses of severity"
- The critiques and defenses of modern slavery: from without and within, above and below
- Mobility and tactical flight: of workers, chiefs, and villages
- Targeting chiefs: from "fictitious obedience" to "extraordinary political disorder"
- Seniority and subordination: disciplining youth and controlling women's labor
- An "absolute freedom" circumscribed and circumvented: "Employers chosen of their own free will"
- Upward mobility: "improvement of one's social condition"
- Conclusion: forced labor's legacy.
