Beschreibung

In the nineteenth century, nearly all Native American men living along the southern New England coast made their living travelling the world's oceans on whaleships. Highlighting the shifting racial ideologies that shaped the lives of these whalemen, Nancy Shoemaker shows how the category of "Indian” was as fluid as the whalemen were mobile.
