- Synopsis
- Focusing on the high-seas drama during the decade from 1716 to 1726, Rediker (history, U. of Pittsburgh) offers a social and cultural history of pirates and the reaction to them in the English colonies of North America. Poor seamen, former slaves, and women who turned pirate raised issues respectively about class, race, and gender, he says, and the need and tendency to demonize a group as a threat to civilization was as alive then as now.
