Yaruipam Muivah, Alessandro Stanziani Forced Labour at the Frontier of Empires: Manipur and the French Congo, 1890-1914. Debates about abolition of slavery have essentially focused on two interrelated questions: 1) whether nineteenth and early twentieth century abolitions were a major breakthrough compared to previous centuries (or even millennia) in the history of humankind during which bondage had been the dominant form of labour and human condition. 2) whether they express an action specific to western bourgeoisie and liberal civilization. It is true that the number of abolitionist acts and the people concerned throughout the extended nineteenth century (1780- 1914) had no equivalent in history: 30 million Russian peasants, half a million slaves in Saint- Domingue in 1790, four million slaves in the US in 1860, another million in the Caribbean (at the moment of the abolition of 1832-40), a further million in Brazil in 1885 and 250,000 in the Spanish colonies were freed during this period.

Thank you all for putting up with me these last few months! All the same, there are a couple special people whom I need to recognize. First, I’d like to thank you, Professor Games, for your endless compassion and support as we navigated these challenging and isolating semesters online. You made this year worth it! A big thank you as well to my advisor, Professor McKittrick, for the wealth of knowledge that you shared with me. And of course, thank you to the other “Africanists” and all of my classmates in the thesis seminar. You all made this experience meaningful, collaborative, and fun, even on Zoom. I’d also like to thank two friends from home, Ana-Maria and Daphne, for being willing to go very much out of your way to get me the sources that I needed, even if the pandemic foiled some of our plans.
