Trade Review
”Highly organized and well written, Lynn Schler’s Nation on Board is an important addition to the fields of maritime history, labor history, business history, and the history of decolonization.“ * H-Net Reviews *
“This is an outstanding piece of social historical research and a significant addition to Nigerian labour and industrial/business history. Schler has made excellent use of a range of archives and interviews and crafted an attractively written book that will be accessible to a range of readers. I take my hat off to her.”
“Schler places the sometimes abstract notion of nationhood into a fresh and dynamic context, and the testimony she presents provides wonderful insights into the textures of life aboard ship and in foreign ports
