AbstractThe introduction of this special issue takes up the questions: Why ‘bonded labour’? What do we mean by it? And, why focus on ‘bonded labour’ now? Answers to these questions require an effort of definition, as well as contextualisation, of a phenomenon that, though long expected to disappear with societal and economic developments, has persisted or re-emerged in the wake of current processes of transnational migration and globalisation. The introduction briefly discusses longstanding theoretical debates on bondage in past and present Asia, as well as new insights derived from a Swiss research project focusing on ‘Contemporary Forms of Bonded Labour in Southeast Asia.’

This occasional paper is a revised version of a paper presented in February 2000 at a symposium on “The Chinese transnational communities” and the first result of a wider research project currently being developed by Gregor Benton and Edmund Terence Gomez. In this succinct comparative study, the authors analyse the topic of trans-nationalism within the Chinese communities of the UK and South-East Asia, focusing on two main aspects: business style and political consciousness.

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.
