1 Davis himself said much the same in a bitter exchange with Marcus Rediker and Peter Linebaugh over Davis' negative reading of their book, The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic (New York: Verso, 2000)Google Scholar. But contrary to the charge Davis makes in his review, and unlike his work in general, the Many-Headed Hydra does stress that slavery can only be understood within the wider spectrum of unfree labor in the Atlantic world.
