SOLANO D, Sergio Paolo. Between Civil and Police Codes. Work, Domestic Order and Labor Legislation in the Nineteenth-Century Colombian Caribbean. Gaceta Laboral [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.2, pp.147-174. ISSN 1315-8597.

This article analyzes socio-labor relationships in the Colombian Caribbean (1850-1930), in the light of legal and political discussions developed in the nineteenth century regarding unqualified labor and with which legal field it should be associated. This documentary study demonstrates that, by associating unqualified labor with the domestic unit, semi-servile forms of relationships were accentuated among broad population sectors. In many places, this association led socio-labor relationships to acquire semi-servile work characteristics.
