While the 1930 Convention intended to mark the suppression of forced labor practices, various exemptions meant that many coercive labor practices continued in colonial territories. Focusing on East Africa and the Kenya Colony, this book shows how the colonial administration was able to exploit the exemption clause for communal labor, thus ensuring the mobilization of African labor for infrastructure development. As an exemption, communal labor was not defined as forced labor but instead justified as a continuation of traditional African and community labor practices. Despite this ideological justification, the book shows that communal labour was indeed an intensification of coercive labor practices and one that penalized Africans for non-compliance with fines or imprisonment. The use of forced labor before and after the passage of the Convention is examined, with a focus on its use during World War II as well as in efforts to combat soil erosion in the rural African reserve areas in Kenya. The exploitation of female labor, the Mau Mau war of the 1950s, civilian protests, and the regeneration of communal labor as harambee after independence are also discussed. .Great Britain—HistoryAfrica—HistoryImperialismHistory, ModernEurope—HistorySocial justiceHuman rightsHistory of Britain and Irelandhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020African Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/714000Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000Modern Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000European Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717000Social Justice, Equality and Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070KenyaPolitics and governmentTo 1963Great Britain—History.Africa—History.Imperialism.History, Modern.Europe—History.Social justice.Human rights.History of Britain and Ireland.African History.Imperialism and Colonialism.Modern History.European History.Social Justice, Equality and Human Rights.331.1173096762331.117309676209041HIS037070SOC054000HIS001020bisacshOkia Oauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1499822BOOK9910785759703321Communal labor in colonial Kenya3726241UNINA01340nam0 22003371i 450 UON0026083420231205103711.32305-202-3658-020050126d2004 |0itac50 baengUS|||| |||||Hesiod's AscraAnthony T.
