Product Description

Branded the Devil’s Highway, nineteenth century Ratcliffe Highway was associated with crime and vice. In contrast, this book argues that sailortown was a distinctive and functional community. This community fostered an urban-maritime culture that shaped a sense of themselves and the conventions that governed subaltern behaviour in the district. -- .
