Between 1415, when the Portuguese first used convicts for colonization purposes in the North African enclave of Ceuta, to the 1960s and the dissolution of Stalin's gulags, global powers including the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, British, Russians, Chinese and Japanese transported millions of convicts to forts, penal settlements and penal colonies all over the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essays explore the idea of penal transportation as an engine of global change, in which political repression and forced labour combined to produce long-term impacts on economy, society and identity. They investigate the varied and interconnected routes convicts took to penal sites across the world, and the relationship of these convict flows to other forms of punishment, unfree labour, military service and indigenous incarceration. They also explore the lived worlds of convicts, including work, culture, religion and intimacy, and convict experience and agency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClare Anderson \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of History at the University of Leicester, UK.
