The Age of Sail has long fascinated readers, writers, and the
general public. Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad, Jack London et al.
treated ships at sea as microcosms; Petri dishes in which larger
themes of authority, conflict and order emerge. In this fascinating
book, Pfaff and Hechter explore mutiny as a manifestation of
collective action and contentious politics. The authors use
narrative evidence and statistical analysis to trace the processes
by which governance failed, social order decayed, and seamen
mobilized. Their findings highlight the complexities of governance,
showing that it was not mere deprivation, but how seamen
interpreted that deprivation, which stoked the grievances that
motivated rebellion. Using the Age of Sail as a lens to examine
topics still relevant today - what motivates people to rebel
against deprivation and poor governance - The Genesis of Rebellion:
Governance, Grievance, and Mutiny in the Age of Sail helps us
understand the emergence of populism and rejection of the
establishment.
