At the same time, these laborers challenged that order--from the undermining of Danish colonization in the seventeenth century to the igniting of civil war in the United States in the nineteenth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Rediker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520304365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520304369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2020","brand":"Marcus Rediker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946704503039,"sku":"9780520304369","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9afd6c82-943e-4f80-8740-e28544cf6b87.jpg?v=1681514658","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-global-history-of-runaways-marcus-rediker-9780520304369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
