From
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.’
