This website seeks to present scholarly work from different parts of the world (mainly United States, Europe and Latin America) on labour and workers in Latin America and the Caribbean from the 16th to the 21st century.
Besides that, it seeks to provide information about archives and collections on labour history and the history of workers and link people and topics in Latin American History that are often not connected such as slaves of African origin and indigenous workers; free, unfree, and wage labour; labour and migration, women’s and child labour.
