Recenzje

'Convicts: A Global History is a remarkable achievement, a work of global history based on many years of research that restores a subaltern group to its place in the world through both a panoramic overview and the tracing of individual lives lived in extremis.' Miles Ogborn, Journal of Interdisciplinary History
