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
