 ary relationship between food and (unfree) labour invites critical histori
 cal reflection. How have historians understood the relationship between la
 bour unfreedom and food production through the ages ? And what role does l
 aw play in these understandings ? Surveying three prominent historical acc
 ounts on food and slavery — Eric Williams’s Capitalism and Slavery\, Sidne
 y Mintz’s Sweetness and Power and Judith Carney’s Black Rice — Adrian Smit
 h will examine the unfree labour-food-law nexus with a view toward histori
 cizing the study of contemporary ‘food labour’ regulation.\nAdrian A. Smit
 h is Assistant Professor in Carleton University’s Department of Law and Le
 gal Studies. He is cross-appointed to the Institute of Political Economy a
 nd the Institute of African Studies. His research interests include labour
  studies and the global economy\, migration\, the political economy of dev
 elopment\, social movements\, and visual legal studies. All of his work is
  situated within an anti-oppression framework with an emphasis on antiraci
 sm and anticolonialism.\n
