During global capitalism's long ascent from 1600–1850,
workers of all kinds—slaves, indentured servants, convicts,
domestic workers, soldiers, and sailors—repeatedly ran away from
their masters and bosses, with profound effects.
A Global History of Runaways, edited by Marcus
Rediker, Titas Chakraborty, and Matthias van Rossum, compares and
connects runaways in the British, Danish, Dutch, French, Mughal,
Portuguese, and American empires. Together these essays show how
capitalism required vast numbers of mobile workers who would build
the foundations of a new economic order. At the same time, these
laborers challenged that order—from the undermining of Danish
colonization in the seventeenth century to the igniting of civil
war in the United States in the nineteenth. Â
