Jan Breman Mobilizing labour for the global coffee market
profits from an unfree work regime in colonial Java
Summary: Coffee has been grown on Java for the commercial market since the early eighteenth century, when the Dutch East India Company began buying from peasant producers in the Priangan highlands.
