Prof. Ramnath Publishes Essay in Cambridge History of International Law
Kalyani Ramnath, Assistant Professor in the field of modern south Asian history, recently published a new essay titled “The Legacies of Indenture for International Law in Asia” in the Cambridge History of International Law, Vol 2. Her chapter focuses on indentured labor from India in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, and shows how indenture shifted definitions of emigrants and foreigners, shaped discourses on welfare in migration, and left its mark on international relations as they emerged in the aftermath of the two world wars.
