Wage labor
Hi.
What does 'wage labor' mean?
After the Americans put an end to warfare, the scale of the potlatch did increase, but that was due to the enrichment of the Tlingit from the fur trade and wage labor.
What are the opposites of wage labor?
Thanks in advance

Hi Soheil I'm not absolutely sure, but I take 'wage labour' to mean that some of the Tlingit started to work for Northwest American settlers, in exchange for money. As opposed to their working within kinship relationships, among family and friends, where there would have been informal understandings about who would help whom and when, with symbolic exchanges of work and gifts Dave
