This second volume comes after Coolitude, An anthology of the Indian Labour Diaspora (2002), which was an academic best-seller.
It broadens the space of indenture studies and its heritage. It goes through strict academic categorizations, articulating methodologies and creative visions of indenture in past and present. This anthology, therefore, speaks to all persons concerned with the History of indenture, slavery, migrations, cultures, identities, labour and their impact on contemporary societies.
