Mobility and Coercion in an Age of Wars and Revolutions: A Global History, c. 1750–1830:

\"Mobility and Coercion in an Age of Wars and Revolutions: A Global History, c. 1750–1830\" brings into full view the massive scale of forced migrations triggered by the global political upheavals and military confrontations that rocked the world around 1800. While this era—defined by the Seven Years\' War, the American, French, and Haitian revolutions, and the Latin American wars for independence—is traditionally celebrated as a period of enlightenment and the quest for liberty, this book recognizes coerced mobility not as an aberration, but as a defining and structural dimension of global transformations.\r\nThrough a series of connected essays, the volume examines the deeply entangled global movements of enslaved persons, soldiers, convicts, political exiles, and displaced Indigenous populations across empires and successor republics. It interrogates the rigid binaries of \"free\" and \"unfree\" mobility, analyzing the fluid, complex, and often multi-directional pathways that individuals traversed (such as prisoners of war forced into naval service, or refugees navigating shifting legal lines). By focusing on the agency, resistance, and experiences of ordinary people moved against their will, the book uncovers a world integrated by overlapping networks, temporary destinations, and permeable imperial boundaries, exposing the deep-rooted contours of modern displacement and its long-lasting historical consequences.
