This volume explores the transnational dimensions of mutiny and
maritime radicalism during the great cycle of war and revolution
that began in the mid-1750s and continued until the 1840s. The
central theme of the volume is mutiny - its causes, frequency,
forms, patterns and outcomes - charting, linking and comparing
maritime insurrections in different oceans, on warships, merchant
vessels and convict ships. The contributions concentrate on the
mutineers themselves, their social composition, self-organisation,
objectives and ideas. Also included is unrest in port cities, sites
of international exchange between maritime and landed forms of
resistance. Sailors spent significant amounts of time in port,
sometimes connecting shipboard unrest and radical movements on land
in personal, political and social ways. The contributions cover the
age of revolution in its full geographic extent, including the
Atlantic with its wars and revolutions, but also the Indian and
Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.
