This project examines the social lives and conditions of enslaved and other colonial laborers on plantations and work sites tied through ownership, management, and investment to the predecessors of InsingerGilissen, particularly Insinger & Co. The research aims to contribute to a renewed perspective on the colonial history of slavery (see Knowledge Agenda) and to enhance understanding of the global impacts of InsingerGilissen’s historical involvement in slavery and colonialism.
