Resumo: In the third quarter of the 19th century, Macau, a Portuguese enclave in Chinese territory, became an important departure port for indentured labores. Official documents testify to the concern of the Portuguese metropolis with the growing flow of Chinese, the types of contracts, recruitment, transport conditions and the conditions of the barracks where they awaited shipment, in addition to the external repercussions involving the English, French and Chinese. This article studies the forced emigration of a group of Annamites kidnapped at sea by Chinese pirates and then sold as emigrants to emigration agents in Macau. A case study revealing some of the minutiae of the capillary business network with the aim of recruiting individuals and transforming them into indentured labores to supply the world's demand for cheap and disciplined labor.

Documentos oficiais testemunham a preocupação da metrópole portuguesa com o crescente fluxo de chineses, os tipos de contrato, o recrutamento, as condições de transporte e dos barracões onde aguardavam o embarque, além da repercussão externa envolvendo ingleses, franceses e chineses. Este artigo estuda a emigração forçada de um grupo de anamitas raptados no mar por piratas chineses e depois vendidos como emigrantes aos agentes de emigração em Macau. Um estudo de caso revelador de algumas das minúcias da rede de negócios capilarizada com objetivo de recrutar indivíduos e transformá-los em trabalhadores sob contrato para suprir a demanda mundial por mão de obra barata e disciplinada.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)2023-05-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/mundosdotrabalho/article/view/9237410.5007/1984-9222.2023.e92374Revista Mundos do Trabalho; Vol. 15 (2023); 1-22Revista Mundos do Trabalho; Vol. 15 (2023); 1-22Revista Mundos do Trabalho; v. 15 (2023); 1-221984-9222reponame:Revista Mundos do Trabalhoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/mundosdotrabalho/article/view/92374/53301Copyright (c) 1970 Revista Mundos do Trabalhoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonçalves, Paulo Cesar2023-10-27T01:19:35Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/92374Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/mundosdotrabalhoPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/mundosdotrabalho/oai||revistamundosdotrabalho@gmail.com|| portaldeperiodicos.bu@contato.ufsc.br1984-92221984-9222opendoar:2023-10-27T01:19:35Revista Mundos do Trabalho - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
