    Abstract: This groundbreaking book presents a global perspective on the history of forced migration over three centuries and illuminates the centrality of these vast movements of people in the making of the modern world.

They depict the cruelty of the captivity, torture, terror, and death involved in the shipping of human cargo over the waterways of the world, whi

Pybus' stories include the notorious runaway 'Black Caesar', who became our first bushranger, and the wonderfully subversive Billie Bl
