Reviews
Subramanian's study breaks new ground in piracy and Indian Ocean studies ... her thoughtful discussion of the issues that can sur-round the use of colonial archives to reconstruct complex and often problematic phenomena should become required reading for anyone setting out to reconstruct the history of the colonial experience in the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and Pacific worlds. * Richard B. Allen, The International Journal of Maritime History *
an insightful and valuable contribution to the field of pirate studies ... [Subramanian] widens the possibilities of the field and lights the way for future studies of piracy. * Timothy Riding, History *
