Im currently working on an article exploring the history of automation and the labor movement, particularly in the context of the current AI hype. My focus is to go beyond the common US-UK narratives. While the Industrial Revolution's roots in Manchester are widely acknowledged, I'm aiming to delve into less explored territories, specifically in regions like Africa, Asia , or South America. I'm interested in understanding different cultural and historical perspectives on this topic. If anyone has insights or references from these areas, pls lemme knowww
