This groundbreaking book presents a global perspective on the
history of forced migration over three centuries and illuminates
the centrality of these vast movements of people in the making of
the modern world. Highly original essays from renowned
international scholars trace the history of slaves, indentured
servants, transported convicts, bonded soldiers, trafficked women,
and coolie and Kanaka labor across the Pacific, Indian, and
Atlantic Oceans. They depict the cruelty of the captivity, torture,
terror, and death involved in the shipping of human cargo over the
waterways of the world, which continues unabated to this day. At
the same time, these essays highlight the forms of resistance and
cultural creativity that have emerged from this violent history.
Together, the essays accomplish what no single author could
provide: a truly global context for understanding the experience of
men, women, and children forced into the violent and alienating
experience of bonded labor in a strange new world. This pioneering
volume also begins to chart a new role of the sea as a key site
where history is made.
