This volume explores the historical significance of punishment in the management of labor, delving into the accounts of blinded slaves in ancient Mesopotamia, flogged peasant farmers in Pharaonic Egypt, convict officers in the prisons of colonial India, and blacklisted factory workers in the nineteenth-century United States, as well as rural workers in the medieval Frankish kingdoms, soldiers and domestic servants in early modern Scandinavia, working children in colonial Bolivia, textile workers in Lombardy, enslaved Africans in Brazil and the United States, and household workers in Late Imperial China. The introduction offers insights into comparing the role of punishment in the management of labor across different spaces and times. The editors argue that effective labor management necessitated the systematic differentiation of the workforce, and the imposition of diverse forms of punishment played a crucial role in shaping and reinforcing these labor distinctions.

The introduction suggests ways to compare the role of punishment in the management of labor across space and time. The editors claim that the effective management of labor required the systematic differentiation of the workforce; to that end, the imposition of diversified forms of punishment did not merely reflect existing labor distinctions but also contributed to their creation.
