Revue de presse
`Roger Ekirch's substantial study is the more welcome, for it explains and connects many areas of eighteenth-century history on both sides of the Atlantic ... impressively thorough, widely researched and clearly presented ... the book will be a rich source of new ideas and new associations for all who take an interest in the eighteenth century.' Times Literary Supplement

Paperback. From 1718 to 1775, British courts banished 50,000 convicts to America--the largest body of immigrants, aside from African slaves, ever sent across the Atlantic--in hopes of restoring social peace at home without posing the threat to traditional freedoms raised by the death penalty or a harshcorrective system. Drawing upon archives in Britain and the United States, Bound for America examines the critical role this punishment played in Britain's criminal justice system. It also assesses the nature of the convict trade, the social origins of the transported felons, and the impact such alarge criminal influx had on colonial society. Very good condition. Cover has minor scuffing and wear at edges. Slight tanning on outside page edges. N° de réf. du vendeur 14582728
