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.
