Unfreedom Unbound: Developing a Cumulative Approach to Understanding Unfree Labour in Singapore
本文提出一种累积方法来理解当代不自由劳动，通过分析强迫与胁迫的多重组合，挑战现有对不自由劳动的表征和受害者识别方式，并以新加坡孟加拉国合同建筑工人为例说明。
This article proposes a cumulative approach to contemporary manifestations of unfree labour based on an exploration of dynamic combinations of common elements of the phenomenon. This understanding challenges enumerative and depoliticized tendencies in current approaches to both characterizing unfree labour and identifying victims. A cumulative approach recognizes the interlocking impacts of multiple forms of compulsion and duress, which shape the choices migrant workers make when their alternatives are severely limited and agency constrained. To illustrate this approach the article draws on a case study of Bangladeshi contract migrant construction workers in Singapore.
