This paradigm-shifting study demystifies our understanding of pirates in history. Looking beyond the eighteenth-century Caribbean to the nineteenth-century Indian Ocean, Layton traces the mythology developed by British pirate-hunters, transforming piracy into a political and racial category and legitimising institutional and outsourced violence.
