Slavery in Late-19th-Century Siam

A portfolio-level data science reconstruction, 1850–1905, with a focus on Lao / Isan exploitation.

This project reconstructs slavery in Siam as a measurable system of labor extraction, debt, war captivity, and ethnic classification rather than as a purely legal institution. It combines historical interpretation with structured data, reproducible analysis, and derived tables to examine scale, census omission, labor networks, and abolition-era transformation.
