The Colour of Labour presents a one-day workshop “Landscapes of Indenture: Indian Ocean Routes and Beyond” to be held on November 6 at the Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon.

About the project:
In the project The Colour of Labour: the Racialized Lives of Migrants we examine the ways in which the positions in the production structure generate racialized identifications which are at once contingent, hierarchical and naturalized. Social categories thus produced may appear as ethnicities, nationalities, cultures, races, or other collective entities; their dynamics combine the needs of a production system based on inequalities and hierarchies, on the one hand, and, on the other, the ideological representations that vary from explicit racism to a goal of equalitarian multiculturalism.
