Mooring the Global Archive - A Japanese Ship and its Migrant Histories

The first in-depth analysis of archival methodologies in the writing of global history, focused on a Japanese migrant steamship in the 1880s-90s. Tracing the ship's journeys between Japan, Hawai'i, Southeast Asia and Australia, Martin Dusinberre analyses labour migration, settler colonialism and resource extraction in the Asia-Pacific world.
