Opis

Tracing a Japanese steamship's journeys in the 1880s-90s, this is the first analysis of archival methodologies in writing global history.

Recenzje

'In this engaging study, Martin Dusinberre situates migrant Japanese plantation workers, sex workers, and others in relation to imperialism, extractive capitalism, and formations of indigeneity in the Pacific. Challenging the epistemologies of the modern discipline of history, Dusinberre demonstrates how scholars might listen for other voices when assembling their archives.' David Ambaras, Professor of History, North Carolina State University
