  • The Competition of Slave and Free Labor in Artisanal Production: Buenos Aires, 1770-1815
    The Competition of Slave and Free Labor in Artisanal Production: Buenos Aires, 1770-1815 LYMAN L. JOHNSON Summary: Between 1770 and 1815 the population of Buenos Aires nearly doubled. Despite this impressive growth, the city and its hinterland suffered from a chronic labor shortage. Efforts to expand artisanal production were undermined by the resultant high wage levels. Similar problems affected the countryside where slaves and the forced labor of Indians and convicts failed to meet harvest needs. This paper examines the competition among these forms of labor. Economic, social and cultural factors that helped determine the allocation of labor types are also analyzed. Finally, since scores of slaves and Indian laborers gained freedom and entered the labor market each year, the economic and cultural factors that facilitated this movement are examined. Little attention has been paid to wage labor in the history of colonial Spanish America. Yet, across the empire, wage labor was increasingly important in urban manufacturing and service sectors and in mining from the mid seventeenth century. By the late eighteenth century, the skilled trades of the empire's largest cities and towns relied primarily on wage laborers. Both transportation and construction were also largely dependent on wage labor. Although some urban economies retained their early dependence on the coerced labor of Indians and slaves, the most dynamic urban economies of Spanish America were moving dramatically in the direction of wage labor by the end of the colonial period. Nevertheless, the coerced components of both rural and urban production have received much greater attention from historians and other social scientists.

THE SLAVERY OF EMANCIPATION Guyora Binder* I. THE CLAIM: MANUMISSION IS NOT ABOLITION The Thirteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution com- mands that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist."' What has been the effect of this command? It will serve my present purpose to offer the following too- simple answer to this complex question: the Thirteenth Amend- ment secured little more than the manumission of slaves already practically freed by the friction of war. It guaranteed, in Confeder- ate General Robert Richardson's now well-known phrase, "noth- 2 ing but freedom." Supposing this answer to be true, a further question presents itself: Did the Thirteenth Amendment's effect fulfill its command? Did universal manumission abolish slavery? A full answer to this question would require a rich historical account of the evolving institution of American slavery, the fea- tures of that institution that survived the Reconstruction era, and how those features evolved in the ensuing century and a quarter.

Introduction The concept of slavery plays a potent role in our thought and his- tory.3 We set the concept of slavery against the opposing notions of au- tonomy, freedom and equality. 4 Slavery separates individuals from the benefits of their own labor.5 It represents the ultimate subordination to the other-an obliteration of the reciprocal relations of mutual recognition.6 Debtor/creditor relations present a similar break-down in reciproc- ity when individual debtors find themselves entangled in obligations * Professor of Law, New York Law School.

    CURRICULUM Proficiency Certificate Level in Nursing (Three year program) Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training Curriculum Development Division Sanothimi, Bhaktapur 2013 Few words Nepal produces a number of SLC students every year but after passing SLC they are often puzzled for the selection of higher education. So to eliminate the problem of their amazement, CTEVT has been established from the common efforts of the government and experts of education. Learners can learn higher education in different institutions and organizations but for them their also lies the problems of job opportunity since the curriculum of general education is not concerned with skills. So attempt of CTEVT can be taken as a milestone for the impartment of technical and vocational training. There is the access of all levels of people for the achievement of technical education since CTEVT has been trying to fulfill quota best on equity. As a demand of time changed CTEVT has formulated its goals and objectives. In order to meet those goals and achieve all the objectives curriculum is being designed by collecting the feedback of different educators and students based on their day to day experiences. I hope all the concerned educators and instructors will be involved to conduct the assessment and examination in flexible and modern way for achieving better outcome in future. I would like extend my special thanks to the Directors of Curriculum Development Division of CTEVT for his initiation to develop this curriculum. I am fully assured that this curriculum will be beneficial and helpful for the learners to compete in this global market of science and technology.

  • ANGLO VIEWS of MEXICAN LABOR: SHAPING the LAW of TEMPORARY WORK THROUGH MASCULINITIES NARRATIVES Leticia M
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NVJ\13-2\NVJ212.txt unknown Seq: 1 17-MAY-13 8:32 ANGLO VIEWS OF MEXICAN LABOR: SHAPING THE LAW OF TEMPORARY WORK THROUGH MASCULINITIES NARRATIVES Leticia M. Saucedo* INTRODUCTION Masculinities, just like racialized narratives, shape how society structures and perpetuates its relationships. This Essay discusses how the relationships between Anglo employers and their Mexican laborers were explained through masculinities narratives during a period of heavy temporary labor use in the United States in the twentieth century. Ultimately, the narratives were reflected in laws and agreements that controlled the workplace relationships of thousands of Mexican temporary workers in the U.S., and ultimately in immigration law, which today regulates the parameters of temporary immigrant labor into the United States. About a year ago, I began studying the narratives of Anglo Americans, who described Mexicans and Mexican immigrant workers in the early twentieth century.1 At the time, I focused on the racialized nature of the Anglo narratives and did not consider whether or how the narratives also had masculinized aspects. I return to those narratives in this Essay and place the lens of masculin- ities theories on those same stories. It was through masculinities narratives, in part, that racial subordination was established during this period. In this Essay, I will explore the narratives that Anglo writers and employ- ers utilized, both to entrench a hegemonic masculinity and to establish their superiority over Mexican workers in the early twentieth century. These narra- tives are the ones to which Mexican workers responded in developing stories of their own masculinity.2 The hegemonic masculinity—one that emphasizes the self-made man and his managerial superiority—is, in turn, reflected in laws, agreements, and treaties between the United States and Mexico and in public policy discussions governing Mexican labor in the United States.

  • Student Employment Services First Footings for Supervisors of Students
    Student Employment Services First Footings for Supervisors of Students Welcome to First Footings for Supervisors of Students Student Employment Services First Footings for Supervisors of Students Research shows that communicating expectations and instructions to new workers can be a tricky business. Making assumptions about a new student employee’s work ethic and experience leads to misunderstanding and disappointment. Student Employment Services First Footings for Supervisors of Students New student employees want and expect specific information about their jobs to be communicated up front by their managers and supervisors. They want expectations clearly defined and the details of their job clearly explained. Most of all they want supervisors to be honest about every aspect of their employment. Student Employment Services First Footings for Supervisors of Students As a supervisor you also have expectations. You need reliable, knowledgeable employees. When new employees come through your door, you expect them to possess a fundamental idea of what having a real job entails. You can lay a foundation for helping a young employee develop a work ethic by keeping a few basics in mind. This is a plan to help you start out on the right foot… Student Employment Services First Footings for Supervisors of Students GET THE BASICS WORKED OUT EARLY Let the student employee know who his/her supervisor(s) is. This seems obvious, but you might be surprised how often it is overlooked. The new student employee wants a go-to person. Make sure someone is always available to answer questions about the student’s job. Also, agree upon vacation periods and other time off in advance.
