Summary:
"
Life
Under
the
Jolly
Roger
examines the political and cultural significance of these nomadic outlaws by relating historical accounts to a wide range of theoretical concepts - reaching from Marshall Sahlins and Pierre Clastres to Mao-Tse Tung and Eric J. Hobsbawm via Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault. The meanings of race, gender, sexuality, and disability in
golden
age
pirate communities are analysed and contextualized, as are the pirates' forms of organization, economy, and ethics."--BOOK JACKET.
