| Abstract | "The Age of Sail has long fascinated readers, writers, and the general public. Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad, Jack London, et al treated ships at sea as microcosms; Petri dishes in which larger themes of authority, conflict and order emerge. In this fascinating book, Pfaff and Hechter explore mutiny as a manifestation of collective action and contentious politics. The authors use narrative evidence and statistical analysis to trace the processes by which governance failed, social order decayed, and seamen mobilized"-- Provided by publisher. |
