Mutiny and Maritime Radicalism in the Age of Revolution: A Global Survey is the title of IRSH special issue vol 58 (December 2013) edited by Clare Anderson, Niklas Frykman, Lex Heerma van Voss and Marcus Rediker.
The essays collected in this volume demonstrate that during the age of revolution (1760s–1840s) most sectors of the maritime industries experienced higher levels of unrest than is usually recognized. Ranging across global contexts including the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans as well as the Caribbean, Andaman, and South China Seas, and exploring the actions of sailors, laborers, convicts, and slaves, this collection shows that the radicalism of the age of revolution can best be viewed as a geographically connected process, and that the maritime world was central to its multiple eruptions and global character.
