Abstract

In past and present Vietnam, the dialectic of precarity and resilience shapes the everyday lives of mobile labourers. Vietnamese labour mobility is characterised by an interplay between precariousness 'at home' and the uncertainties of migration. The paper aims to highlight continuities and contingencies in the longue duree of Vietnamese work migration through a historical contextualisation of precarious labour relations. Both colonial 'coolie' workers and present-day labour migrants share similar experiences, for example socioeconomic marginalisation in the regions of origin, opportunity and risk, and emerging translocal identities.
