Sea Changes: Historicizing the Ocean

"Sea Changes: Historicizing the Ocean" by Bernhard Klein and Gesa Mackenthun, published by Routledge. The sea has been the site of radical changes in human lives and national histories. It has been an agent of colonial oppression but also of indigenous resistance, a site of loss, dispersal and enforced migration but also of new forms of solidarity and affective kinship. Sea Changes re-evaluates the view that history happens mainly on dry land and makes the case for a creative reinterpretation of the role of the sea: not merely as a passage from one country to the next, but a historical site deserving close study.
