It is funded by the University of Leicester. 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. A Global History of Convicts and Penal Colonies builds on specific regional archives and literatures to write the first global history of penal transportation. The 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. 2022-10-14T14:54:08Z 2022-10-14T14:54:08Z 2018 book ONIX_20221014_9781350000698_139 9781350000698 9781350000681 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58808 eng application/pdf n/a 9781350000681.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781350000704 10.5040/9781350000704 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781350000698 9781350000681 Bloomsbury Academic 408 London open access
