1. Prabhu Mohapatra, “‘Restoring the Family’: Wife Murders and the Making of a Sexual Contract for Indian Immigrant Labour in the British Caribbean Colonies, 1860-1920”, Studies in History, Vol. 11, No.2 (New Delhi: Sage,1995) p.p. 227-260. The very making of the legal conceptions of a ‘family’ is seen here at the turn of the century, by the author, to be coeval with the decline of the indenture system and the consequent replacement of the same with the family labour of the ex-indentured labour. The very making of this legal concept of the ‘family’ is seen here, at the cost of the women workers who were made to transform into the reproducer of the labour from a wage earning worker. It highlights specifically the price paid by the women in the change in the form of labour from ‘indenture’ to ‘free wage work’. Other works for example, Brij V. Lal, Chalo Jahaji: on a journey through indenture in Fiji, (Canberra: Australian National University E Press, 2012), also highlight especially the experience of women workers in plantations being blamed for the ‘failure’ of the system of indenture even as its very structure compounded the conditions of murders, mortality and suicides in the plantations. While the latter deals with the period of indenture and the former tracks the changes from one system to another, Gaiutra Bahadur historicizes the experience of the coolie woman through the structures of violence that survived the history of indenture and free wage work to the present. However, by placing the coolie woman at the center of the narrative of indenture, she has outlined the possibility of many histories that such a narrative can beget, when it tries to push against the historical coordinates that make itself, thereby providing narratives of women who succeed in challenging the violence as well.

Prabhu Mohapatra，“'恢复家庭'：1860-1920 年英属加勒比殖民地的妻子谋杀和印度移民劳工性合同的制定”，历史研究，卷。11, No.2（新德里：Sage，1995）第 227-260 页。作者认为，在世纪之交，“家庭”的法律概念的形成与契约制度的衰落以及随之而来的契约制度的衰落同时被前任的家庭劳动所取代。 - 契约劳工。在这里可以看到“家庭”这个法律概念的形成，其代价是女工从挣工资的工人转变为劳动的再生产者。它特别强调了妇女在劳动形式从“契约”到“免费工资工作”的转变中所付出的代价。其他作品例如，Brij V. Lal，Chalo Jahaji：在斐济的契约之旅中，（堪培拉：澳大利亚国立大学电子出版社，2012 年），还特别强调了种植园女工的经历被指责为契约制度的“失败”，即使其结构本身加剧了种植园中谋杀、死亡和自杀的情况。后者处理契约时期，前者追踪从一个系统到另一个系统的变化，Gaiutra Bahadur 通过在契约和免费工资工作历史中幸存下来的暴力结构历史化了苦力妇女的经历。然而，通过将苦力妇女置于契约叙事的中心，她勾勒出许多历史的可能性，这种叙事可以产生，
