Sumario:"During global capitalism's long ascent from 1600-1850, workers of all kinds--slaves, indentured servants, convicts, domestic workers, soldiers, and sailors--repeatedly ran away from their masters and bosses, with profound effects. A Global History of Runaways, edited by Marcus Rediker, Titas Chakraborty, and Matthias van Rossum, compares and connects runaways in the British, Danish, Dutch, French, Mughal, Portuguese, and American empires.
