Whaling Wives, Life Writing, and Sentimental Extraction in the 19th Century Pacific
In this article, Katharina Fackler examines the affective economies of US extractivism in the Pacific via the journals of Mary Brewster, who accompanied her captain husband on whaling voyages in the mid-nineteenth century.

The iconography of respectability thus has participated in the propagation of a sanitiz…
