villains of all nations atlantic pirates in the golden age

As opposed to discussing the nature of piracy from a neutral standpoint within the context of colonialism, the book works to vindicate pirates and piracy as a seemingly noble deviation from a system which was (truthfully) drenched in corruption and abuse. Like the quote above, Villains of All Nations seems to feed existing stereotypes and caricatures regarding pirates in popular culture today. That being said, Rediker, writes with an innate sense of purpose and a pervasive perspective, an agenda, if you will, which every reader should be cautioned about prior to or after reading the work. The narrative is brilliant and it makes readers understand that the real piracy was, and still is, something different from what is told in the fiction books and shown in the movies.Marcus Rediker’s Villains of All Nations is undoubtedly an entertaining read for those interested in further understanding how the age of piracy developed and fit into the larger context of the colonial age and the Atlantic trade system. The readers will benefit from the valuable information about the conditions that took place in the Atlantic of the eighteenth century and that eventually resulted in the splash of piracy activities there.

In short, the book contains an excellent historical analysis of the above mentioned period, presenting a perfectly researched text. The story told by the author will show you how the old-time seafarers became pirates, what led them to change the occupation, what the reasons were and what the consequences were. The author tries to introduce readers to the Jolly Roger – the famous flag of the pirates of all times, as well as the famous figures of the past times. You will know the truth and not what you are usually provided with in the pages of the most popular books and from the screens, where the piracy is actually romanticized. The content of the present volume by Marcus Rediker is intended to provide interested readers with a good insight to the so-called Golden Age of the piracy activities in the Atlantic area.
