Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea: Merchant Seamen, Pirates and the Anglo-American Maritime World, 1700-1750
by Rediker, Marcus
|
| |
| Rediker reconstructs the world of 18th-century Anglo-American seamen and pirates in order to illuminate larger social and political issues such as the rise of capitalism, slavery, the genesis of free wage labor, and the growth of an international working class. He follows seamen and ships along pulsing trade routes, recreates life in the brothels and alehouses along the waterfront, and explores both the natural disasters and the man-made terrors -- harsh discipline, brutal floggings, grisly hangings -- that shaped the lives of those who plied forbidding oceans. | | |
