A Global History of Convicts and Penal Colonies builds on specific regional archives and literatures to write the first global history of penal transportation. The essays explore the idea of penal transportation as an engine of global change, in which political repression and forced labour combined to produce long-term impacts on economy, society and identity. They investigate the varied and interconnected routes convicts took to penal sites across the world, and the relationship of these convict flows to other forms of punishment, unfree labour, military service and indigenous incarceration. They also explore the lived worlds of convicts, including work, culture, religion and intimacy, and convict experience and agency."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Penal coloniesHistoryPrisonersHistoryPenal coloniesHistory.PrisonersHistory.994.02Anderson Clare1969-UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910597893703321Global history of convicts and penal colonies2900035UNINA
