Chinese Indentured Labour in South Africa and the Formation of a Nation 1902-10
Author: Rachel Bright
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Foreign workers, Chinese
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
In 1902, the importation of Chinese labourers was a dramatic solution to the unskilled labour shortage which had always plagued the Transvaal gold mines. But after the South African War ended in May 1902, the British administration's plans to bring stability to the region depended on increasing the British population and improving the economy. The obvious way to make that happen was to help the mines become operational and profitable as quickly as possible. The unelected Transvaal administration and the mines worked together to win imperial approval for the importation of indentured labour from Asia. Between 1904 and 1906, 63,695 Chinese men were imported for work in the gold mines. The intense public interest in the scheme made it the most widely publicised use of indentured labour at any time in the British empire. Because little has been written on the period in the past twenty years, post-South African War historiography remains pre-occupied with the relationship between mines and the British government, either to support or denounce a Marxist interpretation of imperial governance. And because the Chinese were forcibly repatriated by 1910, the Chinese-labour experiment is largely absent from 'orientalist' or Chinese migration history. This dissertation situates this labour-scheme within current national, imperial and global historiography to provide a clearer understanding of the racial assumptions, as opposed to economic considerations, which dictated the use of Chinese labour. It also explains why the British government sanctioned such a controversial proposal while simultaneously engaging in heated discourses with the other 'white' colonies over possible imperial federation, imperial citizenship and the use of anti-Asian immigration legislation.
