1500 and 1750, European expansion and global interaction produced vast
wealth. As goods traveled by ship along new global trade routes, piracy
also flourished on the world’s seas. Pillaging the Empire tells
the fascinating story of maritime predation in this period, including
the perspectives of both pirates and their victims. Brushing aside the
romantic legends of piracy, Kris Lane pays careful attention to the
varied circumstances and motives that led to the rise of this
bloodthirsty pursuit of riches, and places the history of piracy in the
context of early modern empire building.
This second edition of Pillaging the Empire has
been revised and expanded to incorporate the latest scholarship on
piracy, maritime law, and early modern state formation. With a new
chapter on piracy in East and Southeast Asia, Lane considers piracy as a
global phenomenon. Filled with colorful details and stories of
individual pirates from Francis Drake to the women pirates Ann Bonny and
Mary Read, this engaging narrative will be of interest to all those
studying the history of Latin America, the Atlantic world, and the
global empires of the early modern era.
