Marcus Rediker: History from below
Rebels, pirates, and fearless revolutionaries!
The histories Marcus Rediker explores are grounded in the radical and courageous acts of those who remain largely unknown to us— poor people with calloused hands, often nameless in the historical record and therefore unremembered, the wretched of the earth. Theirs is a history from below.
In Freedom Ship: The Uncharted History of Escaping Slavery by Sea, Rediker recovers the voices of the workers who freed themselves and altered the trajectory of history.
