Lisa Hellman offers the first study of European everyday life in Canton and Macao. How foreigners could live, communicate, move around - even whom they could interaction with - were all things strictly regulated by the Chinese authorities. The Europeans sometimes adapted to, and sometimes subverted, these rules.0Focusing on this conditional domesticity shows the importance of gender relations, especially the construction of masculinity. Using the Swedish East India Company, a minor European actor in an expanding Asian empire, as a point of entry highlights the multiplicity of actors taking part in local negotiations of power. The European attempts at making a home in China contributes to a global turn in everyday history, but also to an everyday turn in global history.

The study of slavery and coerced labour is increasingly conducted from a global perspective, and yet a dual Eurocentric bias remains: slavery primarily brings to mind the images of Atlantic chattel slavery, and most studies continue to be based - either outright or implicitly - on a model of northern European wage labour. This book constitutes an attempt to re-centre that story to Asia. With studies spanning the western Indian Ocean and the steppes of Central Asia to the islands of South East Asia and Japan, and ranging from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, this book tracks coercion in diverse forms, tracing both similarities and differences - as well as connections - between systems of coercion, from early sales regulations to post-abolition labour contracts. Deep empirical case studies, as well as comparisons between the chapters, all show that while coercion was entrenched in a number of societies, it was so in different and shifting ways. This book thus not only shows the history of slavery and coercion in Asia as a connected story, but also lays the groundwork for global studies of a phenomenon as varying, manifold and contested as coercion.

L'histoire des compagnies des Indes est et demeure, dans les pays qui en furent dotés, un champ de recherches spécifique qui est souvent resté en marge d'une historiographie des aires culturelles, en particulier de celle de l'Asie, particulièrement dynamique. Les résultats présentés dans un livre au titre expressif Le Goût de l'Inde, publié aux PUR en 2008, inversaient les perspectives mêlant effet retour, acculturation, transfert de technologie, renouvellement des savoirs sur l'Inde, réévaluation des civilisations asiatiques. Il s'agit ici de mettre en valeur des études récentes d'auteurs confirmés (qui dirigent des programmes de recherche sur le sujet) et des travaux de jeunes chercheurs : leurs recherches traduisent un mouvement de dépassement des histoires nationales de ces Compagnies des Indes et du commerce dans l'océan Indien et la mer de Chine, dépassement qui se fait au profit d'une « histoire connectée ». L'Asie, la mer, le monde a une ambition triple. Tout d'abord montrer la réalité de la mondialisation, qui n'est autre qu'une maritimisation du monde, avec « l'histoire des siècles asiatiques » que connut l'Europe entre 1600 et 1800, lorsque celle-ci découvrit et fit commerce de produits asiatiques à grande échelle, tandis que l'Inde connaissait un double processus de monétarisation et d'industrialisation de son économie stimulée par la demande européenne. Les échanges vers l'Europe ne sont qu'une échappée belle hors d'une économie maritime intra-asiatique particulièrement dynamique, du cap de Bonne-Espérance au Japon, échanges en place depuis de nombreux siècles voire des millénaires. Réexaminer le concept de « rencontre » entre Européens et Asiatiques et prendre conscience que la porte fut parfois seulement entr'ouverte comme en Chine à Canton, voire se referma au Japon quand elle ne fut pas forcée comme en Inde et en Asie du Sud-Est. Il n'en demeure pas moins que, dans les comptoirs de l'Inde tolérés par les pouvoirs politiques locaux, les petites…
