In his research project, Andreas Eckert argues that the history of different labor forms in Africa—as well as how they were categorized in much of the historiography of the continent—have a great deal to offer by way of lessons to a history of global labor in critically engaging with the idea of the North Atlantic as ‘normal’ and the rest as ‘exceptional.’
