Huagong Life and Labour Under the "Coolie System". 330 $aThis book offers a comprehensive account of indentured Chinese labour in the Dutch East Indies between 1880 and 1942, particularly in its twilight years after 1917. The author shows that Chinese indenture started and evolved differently from other forms of bonded labour in Southeast Asia and globally, including its Indian and Javanese variants. This difference is reflected in its lexicon, which was in part special to the Chinese strain. Using fieldwork findings from the tin islands of Bangka and Belitung and the Deli plantations on Sumatra as well as archival materials in Dutch, Chinese, and other languages held in libraries in Java, Nanjing, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Leiden, this book presents cutting-edge research that sets out to contribute to the revising of our historical understanding of indenture. 410 0$aPalgrave Macmillan Transnational History Series,$x2634-6281 517 3 $aChinese indentured labor in the Dutch East Indies, 1880-1942 606 $aForeign workers, Chinese$zNetherlands$xColonies$xHistory 606 $aIndentured servants$zNetherlands$xColonies$xHistory 607 $aIndonesia$xHistory 615 0$aForeign workers, Chinese$xColonies$xHistory. 615 0$aIndentured servants$xColonies$xHistory. 676 $a929.605 676 $a306.3630959809034 700 $aBenton$b Gregor$0652984 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910595044503321 996 $aChinese indentured labour in the Dutch East Indies, 1880-1942$93601691 997 $aUNINA
