Coolies trade refers to the historical practice of employing laborers, often referred to as "coolies," who were typically from Asia, particularly China and India, to work in various sectors, including agriculture, mining, and construction, primarily during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This labor system often involved harsh working conditions and was associated with exploitation and low wages. The term "coolie" itself has derogatory connotations and reflects the colonial attitudes of the time. The practice has largely ceased, but its legacy affects discussions about labor rights and migration today.
