Its foundation was built upon the exploitation of lower socioeconomic classes, who faced significant social, political, and economic challenges. Detailed archaeological case studies employing an agency perspective reveal that these classes were remarkably diverse and dynamic, constantly negotiating their identities. These stories, however, do not solely revolve around the kings, military leaders, and politicians but rather offer an exploration of the perspectives of those who provided the essential fuel, both willingly and unwillingly, for the French maritime empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 442g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 159 x 236 x 18 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781805392293\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47425416298746,"sku":"9781805392293","price":97.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1750447554774_book_b3dd5c5c-d799-47a6-b52b-66c4a094b5ee.jpg?v=1750521490","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/agency-and-archaeology-of-the-french-maritime-empire-9781805392293","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
