Abstract

Abstract This essay analyzes a Japanese court’s criminal conviction of a Peruvian shipmaster for abusing Chinese contract workers and the subsequent release of all Chinese passengers except a lone girl. Using the case as a lens onto gender dynamics within the coolie trade to Latin America, I argue that overlapping patriarchal practices made Chinese contract labor overwhelming male and prioritized men in debates over freedom. The María Luz trials upheld women’s domestic sexual bondage while condemning men’s enslavement.

在María上解放中国男人:性别与拉美苦力贸易

摘要:本文分析了日本法院对一名秘鲁船长虐待中国合同工的刑事定罪，以及随后释放除一名孤独女孩外的所有中国乘客。我以这个案例为视角，观察拉丁美洲苦力贸易中的性别动态，认为重叠的父权做法使中国的合同劳动压倒了男性，并在关于自由的辩论中优先考虑男性。María Luz审判支持女性的家庭性奴役，同时谴责男性的奴役。

期刊介绍： Journal of Global History addresses the main problems of global change over time, together with the diverse histories of globalization. It also examines counter-currents to globalization, including those that have structured other spatial units. The journal seeks to transcend the dichotomy between "the West and the rest", straddle traditional regional boundaries, relate material to cultural and political history, and overcome thematic fragmentation in historiography. The journal also acts as a forum for interdisciplinary conversations across a wide variety of social and natural sciences. Published for London School of Economics and Political Science
