The territorial authority announced a conference on African women and men who were brought to Guiana under labor contracts after the 1848 abolition. The public event reflects a shift in historical attention toward a post-emancipation workforce often obscured by broader histories of Indian indenture and plantation labor. Historian Céline Flory’s research emphasizes the varied recruitment systems and the agency of workers within constrained conditions.
