DESCRIPTION:A seminar with Adrian A. Smith - Slavery Old and New: Labour Ex
 ploitation Through the Ages and Around the Globe seminar series\nJoin us f
 or a video-conference with Adrian A. Smith\, DCL 2011\, hosted by the Hans
  & Tamar Oppenheimer Chair in Public International Law\, the Institute for
  Comparative Law\, and the Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on Africa
  and its Diasporas.\nA light lunch will be served: kindly RSVP to oppenhei
 mer [at] mcgill [dot] ca.\nAbstract\nA recent surge of interest in the con
 temporary relationship between food and (unfree) labour invites critical h
 istorical reflection. How have historians understood the relationship betw
 een labour unfreedom and food production through the ages ? And what role 
 does law play in these understandings ? Surveying three prominent historic
 al accounts on food and slavery — Eric Williams’s Capitalism and Slavery\,
  Sidney Mintz’s Sweetness and Power and Judith Carney’s Black Rice — Adria
 n Smith will examine the unfree labour-food-law nexus with a view toward h
 istoricizing the study of contemporary ‘food labour’ regulation.\nAdrian A
 . Smith is Assistant Professor in Carleton University’s Department of Law 
 and Legal Studies. He is cross-appointed to the Institute of Political Eco
 nomy and the Institute of African Studies. His research interests include 
 labour studies and the global economy\, migration\, the political economy 
 of development\, social movements\, and visual legal studies. All of his w
 ork is situated within an anti-oppression framework with an emphasis on an
 tiracism and anticolonialism.\n
