Reviews

Fascinating... Jaffer writes very well indeed, and this book is in many ways an exemplary social history.... Well written, historiographically astute, empirically thorough and showing a real eye for detail, this study should remain a leading work on lascar life and mutiny for a long time.
*ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW*

[S]crupulously documented . Jaffer is careful in his judgments and trustworthy in the use of his sources, and he has been industrious in seeking out widely dispersed primary materials.
*JOURNAL OF INTERDISCIPLINARY HISTORY*

A very valuable contribution to a very important subject.
*AUSMARINE*

Will be of interest to a range of scholars not limited to labour and maritime historians. Eminently readable, accessible, and thoroughly edited, Jaffer's study is also recommended for a wider reading public interested in labour history and life at sea.
*TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ZEEGESCHIEDENIS*

[A] valuable addition . . . for it engages with the challenges of recuperating the world of rebellious lascars in the closing years of the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth century. It right questions the silence of existing work on the lascars before industrialization and capitalist regulation. H-NET Reviews
