Abstract:
""Capital is moved to where low-wage labour is available, and migrants move - often in large numbers - to where investments and/or wealth accumulated due to specific historic factors create a demand for labour". This volume explores this idea and contributes to the fields of global labour, working-class, and migration history by illuminating the lives of working people over the 19th and 20th centuries. The book's twenty authors discuss a wide range of topics, from capital investments in terms of the availability of low-wage labour and forced mobilization to gender discrimination."
