| Abstract |
"This unprecedented study of nineteenth-century American merchant and whaling activity in the Indian Ocean shows how it shaped later US imperial incursions in the Pacific and Caribbean. Sailors' journals and other primary sources reveal American influence on the period's global commerce, illegal slaving, and environmental degradation"-- Provided by publisher. |
