Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the dual lives of seafarers, the book examines their roles as a global workforce and their influence in shaping multicultural port cities. It highlights the exploitation they faced in sailortown economies and critiques the perceptions held by outsiders regarding their behavior and relationships. Additionally, it addresses the lasting myths surrounding sailortowns that affected waterfront communities well into the twentieth century, shedding light on the interconnected urban, maritime, and global histories of these often-overlooked populations.
