Abstract

With reference to the theme of mobility, this paper explores the separate but often overlapping regimes designed to police or control ‘natives’, libérés (freed convicts and ‘immigrant’ (indentured) labourers in New Caledonia during the colonial era. In so doing, it also seeks to sketch the forms of mobility and circulation that were sanctioned and regulated by colonial authorities.
