Reviews

”Highly organized and well written, Lynn Schler’s Nation on Board is an important addition to the fields of maritime history, labor history, business history, and the history of decolonization.“
*H-Net Reviews*

“This is an outstanding piece of social historical research and a significant addition to Nigerian labour and industrial/business history. Schler has made excellent use of a range of archives and interviews and crafted an attractively written book that will be accessible to a range of readers. I take my hat off to her.”

“Schler places the sometimes abstract notion of nationhood into a fresh and dynamic context, and the testimony she presents provides wonderful insights into the textures of life aboard ship and in foreign ports
