Keywords = {transnational • commons • human •
trafficking},
Abstract = {Despite the prominence of both migrant workers and global
commons as protagonists in recent meetings of the World
Social Forum, few activists or scholars have successfully
linked their historical agency or significance. In the
following essay, I locate conceptual starting points for
linking migrant workers and global commons by analyzing the
work of the transnational and the commons in political
conversation at the WSF and in the historiographies of
immigration and the environment in North America. I argue
that the transnational and global commons are best
understood as analytical vantages rather than as utopian
visions of nation-state transcendence. Using research into
the history of human trafficking, I explore the analytical
advantages of linking migrant workers to global commons. As
inevitable trespassers of both national sovereignty and
property claims, migrant workers' journeys help reveal a
global commons that is, like them, migratory, fleeting, and
often illegible to the state authorities. Such commons are
not pristine wildernesses, but polyglots of weedy hybrids.
Migrant workers' transnational vantages illuminate the
limits of enclosure and the enduring adaptability of
nonhuman nature across national boundaries.},

Pages = {221-241},
Booktitle = {Workers Across the Americas: The Transnational Turn in Labor
History},

url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199731633.003.0017},
Abstract = {Between 1890 and 1910, a dramatic shift occurred in cultural
perceptions of public policies toward "white slavery" in
North America, with stories about trafficked female
prostitutes displacing stories about working-class victims
of monopoly capitalism-a "feminization" also seen in
contemporary debates about human trafficking. This chapter
asks why stories about sexual traffic and sexual violence
have so effectively displaced stories about workingclass
labor in the past as well as the present. Focusing on the
work and discoveries of undercover U.S. immigration agent
Marcus Braun in North America and Europe, it argues that
feminization was bound up with the intrinsic challenge of
seeing "slavery" within the transnational business of human
trafficking, a challenge that set the stage for both policy
failure and bureaucratic expansion simultaneously. That
bureaucratic mischief was fueled not only by the systematic
disengagement of working-class organizations from
antislavery rhetoric at the turn of the 20th century but
also by the conflicted efforts of border authorities and
investigators like Braun to foment and control a traffic in
ideas about human trafficking.},

Abstract = {Recent efforts to build bridges between environmental and
labor history have relied primarily on the idea of
alienation, a concept that means sharply different things to
each subfield and which represents an incomplete foundation
for collaboration. Instead, historians need to analyze and
historicize geographies of labor. Comprising the spatial,
material, and cultural connections between nature and labor,
ǧeographies of labor elucidate not only how nonhuman nature
and human work have historically become alienated, but also
how they have inspired mutually defining visions of redeemed
nature and labor, from the 1830s to the present.},

Abstract = {During his tour of the great silver mines of Virginia City,
Nevada, in 1876, journalist and geologist Eliot Lord was
both impressed and horrified by the "cool" detachment of
Cornish miners as they risked their lives underground in
pursuit of hard currency. Lord was particularly fascinated
by the daring of one Cornishman who fell into a shaft
thirteen hund red feet deep only to emerge unscathed minutes
later "by an astonishing combination of coolness, strength,
and luck." As he climbed out ofthe pit, the Cornishman
remarked matter-of-factly, "By the bloody 'ell. IfI hadn't
caught hold of the pumpbob nose, I'd a been scattered all
abroad." Lord used such anecdotes to paint a portrait of the
Cornish miner as a dispassionate gambIer who daily wagered
his financial and bodily assets, whether in games of
blackjack above ground or in earning wages underground.
Wrote Lord, "The miners' fondness for gambling leads them to
regard the possibility of death… as a risk that every
gamester must face, and they stake their lives on the cost
because they consider the chances in favor of their
preservation."1 Like many middle-class professionals in the
nineteenth century, Lord considered gambling to be im moral
and blamed miners' high mortality rates and enduring
financial insecurity upon their penchant for taking risks.2
Determining which forms of risk were morally acceptable and
manly had become crucial to middle-class men's ongoing
project of self-definition in the nineteenth century.3 In
this respect, Lord's description of all wage-earning men as
gambIers tells us more about his own struggle to define
legitimate gain and manhood than it does about working-class
notions of masculine risk-taking. Yet Lord's was an
ambivalent moralism, tinged as it was with admiration for
the miner's heroism and manly "coolness." From Lord's
nostalgic perspective as a citified eastern professional,
the Cornish miner embodied admirable aspects of a heroic but
vanishing manliness, long associated with the frontier, in
which individual bravery and manly skill rather than market
laws and machines governed the productive lives of men. If
Lord condemned the manly gambles miners took every day, he
also venerated their risk-taking ethos that had, so the
popular frontier myth went, conquered the wilderness and
brought civilization to a savage desert.4},
