摘要

气味。值得注意的是,对于一本有很多数字的书来说,它的可读性非常强。我唯一担心的是,学术印记及其货币化计划会使它无法被阅读。考虑到这可能会成为吸引广大读者的绊脚石,我几乎希望这本书更具技术性。这本杂志的读者特别感兴趣的是,罪犯经常身处的海洋地理环境在许多方面塑造了抵抗模式。关于船上兵变的第五章在这方面特别有趣。运输船不仅是浮动监狱,也是医院——因为工人的健康至关重要——还有工厂——因为它们为(劳动力)市场生产商品。在海上,被锁在这三个相互纠缠的监禁结构的十字路口,异见人士可能会叛变,甚至海盗。这本书的成功之处在于,它令人信服地将如此戏剧性的事件(其中的事件数量惊人地多)与更普通的抵抗形式联系起来,比如发出威胁、停止工作或只是逃跑。从这个意义上讲,《无自由工人》讲述了一个将非凡与日常流畅结合在一起的故事。对于任何对主题或方法感兴趣的人来说,这是一部激动人心、鼓舞人心的作品。

Book Review: The Untold War at Sea: America’s Revolutionary Privateers by Kylie A. Hulbert
odologies. Remarkably, for a book with a lot of numbers, it is eminently readable. My only fear is that the academic imprint and its monetization schemes will keep it from being read. Given that this might be a stumbling block towards a wide audience, I almost wished that the book were more technical. Of special interest to the readers of this journal will be the many ways that patterns of resistance were shaped by the maritime geographies within which convicts often found themselves situated. Chapter 5, on shipboard mutinies, is particularly interesting in this regard. Ships of transportation were not only floating prisons, but also hospitals – because the health of the workers was imperative – and factories – in the sense that they produced a commodity for a (labour) market. At sea and locked at the crossroads of these three entangled structures of confinement, dissent could turn mutinous, and even piratical. The book triumphs in the way that it convincingly relates such dramatic events – of which there were surprisingly many – to the more pedestrian forms of resistance, such as issuing threats, stopping work or simply running away. In this sense,Unfree Workers tells a story that fluidly combines the extraordinary and the everyday. For anyone who is even vaguely intrigued by either the subject or the methodology, this is a thrilling and inspiring work.
