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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clare Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350149942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350149946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.83d","brand":"Clare Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983560802559,"sku":"9781350149946","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22887d75-ae8a-4f24-aad2-fc03d8ae0b74.jpg?v=1683267377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-global-history-of-convicts-clare-anderson-9781350149946","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
