The development of the capitalist world market has always been linked to differentiation of workers and the use of migration to create various forms of «unfree labour»: slavery, indentured workers, guest-workers, forced labourers, undocumented workers and so on. The differential denial of equal rights has been based on gender, race, ethnicity, legal status, national origins and on the ideology of human capital. This paper will briefly address historical antecedents, and then focus on changing modes of differentiation, contrasting the labor recruitment systems of the 1945-1970s period with the epoch of globalization and the creation of a global labor market. Various forms of labor differentiation and denial of rights will be examined.

Palabras llave : international migration; history of migration; human rights; crisis; neoliberal globalization.
