Captain Bowen. Captain Kidd...vol. II Charles Johnson, alleged author of the text, publishes biographies of living and imaginary pirate captains and their adventures. The biography of Captain Misson, a French navy officer turned pirate (although Misson’s crew never considered themselves pirates, as Caraccioli [Missons first man, former priest] insisted that they are “no Pyrates, but Men who were resolved to assert that Liberty which God and Nature gave them” (Johnson 14)) contains a story of Misson’s turn to Deism, social critique and his reaction to unfairness of the world by his pursue of “Liberty!” as he sets his own laws and structures at first on his ship and later, continuing in the biography of Thomas Tew, establishes an utopian settlement on the coast of Madagascar and the inhabitants’ struggle to maintain more or less utopian society on the basis of anarchism, democracy, socialistic ideas and anti-slavery – despite the outside and inside forces of the world around. This thesis explores the story from a historical angle – it tries to provide a closer look on its structure in terms of reliability or unreliability in the historical context of modern academic pirate research, drawing on a number of books and articles about piracy to provide information from more sources, as pirate studies are sometimes ridden with biases and exaggeration. The aim of the first chapter is to provide a general overview of the historical background, public demand for pirate stories of the period, publishing history and how it influenced the book itself as well as the biographies in it. It discusses reliability of the work and mentions the possible intentions of the author for writing a collection of pirate biographies. It also provides some discussion of the influence the book had on the general public at that time as well as its influence on the modern culture. The main 2 sources for this chapter are books about piracy written mainly around 2000 (namely and frequently used are Cordingly’s Introduction to General History and Under the Black Flag) some exceptions being written earlier (Schonhorn’s Introduction and Goose’s History of Piracy), first and second volume of the History itself as a reference and primary source and academic journal articles which’s date of publication varies greatly as they are focused on different topics discussed in this chapter. The second part of the chapter discusses the authorship of the book, as there is a heated discussion still pending. It provides broad overview of the opinions of the authors frequently mentioned in this thesis and also states the approach this thesis has to the unresolved question of authorship. The second chapter examines roughly the first part of the story. Firstly providing short overview of the period focusing on the position of privateers and pirates around the turn of the 16th and 17th century to later, in the second part, tie in on it with the reasons to turn pirate in comparison to Misson’s own personal story. In the third part, Misson’s portrayal in the story and his characteristics are discussed in relation to the simplified profile of an ordinary pirate, and the reliability of the information about pirate life in the biography is examined. In the last part, the same thing is exercised with laws Misson establishes on his ship, Victoire. Overall aim of this chapter is to discover the source’s reliability and accuracy as well as to provide an overview of pirate laws and customs to see the resemblance or change in the laws and customs of Libertalia and other pirate settlements. The third and final chapter focuses on the similarities and differences of Misson’s Libertalia laws and other pirate settlements’ laws. The settlements examined here are mainly contemporary, from the Golden Age of piracy or a bit earlier as those are the only one somewhat close to the utopian Libertalia in terms of historical context 3 and ideology. Firstly, the chapter provides a discussion on the definition of pirate utopia and proposes its own definition to make the comparison to other settlements easier and more orderly. In the second subchapter the reasons for setting Johnson’s utopia on Madagascar are briefly mentioned and in the third, Libertalia’s constitution and the changes from Victoire’s constitution are described to be compared, in the fourth subchapter, to the other settlements like Port Royal, Salé or Sainte Marie island. This thesis is trying to establish Johnson’s book as one of the utopian writings of its period as well as a fairly accurate historical record of piracy in the early 18th century and potentially interest the reader

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

    ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government.

The views expressed in this dissertation do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. ii ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF TRANSNATIONAL ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Thesis Advisor: Daniel L. Byman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This model predicts progress in transnational illicit market suppression campaigns by comparing the relative efficiency and support of the suppression regime vis-à-vis the targeted illicit market. Focusing on competitive adaptive processes, this ‘Boxer’ model theorizes that these campaigns proceed cyclically, with the illicit market expressing itself through a clandestine business model, and the suppression regime attempting to identify and disrupt this model. Success in disruption causes the illicit network to ‘reboot’ and repeat the cycle. If the suppression network is quick enough to continually impose these ‘rebooting’ costs on the illicit network, and robust enough to endure long enough to reshape the path dependencies that underwrite the illicit market, it will prevail. Two scripts put this model into practice. The organizational script uses two variables, efficiency and support, to predict organizational evolution in response to competitive pressures.

  • Thomas Tew and Pirate Settlements of the Indo - Atlantic Trade World, 1645 -1730 1 Kevin Mcdonald Department of History University of California, Santa Cruz
    ‘A Man of Courage and Activity’: Thomas Tew and Pirate Settlements of the Indo - Atlantic Trade World, 1645 -1730 1 Kevin McDonald Department of History University of California, Santa Cruz “The sea is everything it is said to be: it provides unity, transport , the means of exchange and intercourse, if man is prepared to make an effort and pay a price.” – Fernand Braudel In the summer of 1694, Thomas Tew, an infamous Anglo -American pirate, was observed riding comfortably in the open coach of New York’s only six -horse carriage with Benjamin Fletcher, the colonel -governor of the colony. 2 Throughout the far -flung English empire, especially during the seventeenth century, associations between colonial administrators and pirates were de rig ueur, and in this regard , New York was similar to many of her sister colonies. In the developing Atlantic world, pirates were often commissioned as privateers and functioned both as a first line of defense against seaborne attack from imperial foes and as essential economic contributors in the oft -depressed colonies. In the latter half of the seventeenth century, moreover, colonial pirates and privateers became important transcultural brokers in the Indian Ocean region, spanning the globe to form an Indo-Atlantic trade network be tween North America and Madagascar. More than mere “pirates,” as they have traditionally been designated, these were early modern transcultural frontiersmen: in the process of shifting their theater of operations from the Caribbean to the rich trading grounds of the Indian Ocean world, 1 An earlier version of this paper was presented at the “Counter -Currents and Mainstreams in World History” conference at UCLA on December 6-7, 2003, organized by Richard von Glahn for the World History Workshop, a University of California Multi -Campus Research Unit.

VILLAGE BEACH, WEST AFRICA - DAY Statuesque TERU FURRO (30s) sits in the sand braiding ropes together into a fishing net. She is left handed because her right is missing its pinky finger. She looks out to the vast ocean. EXT. HIDDEN LAGOON - DAY Blue sky and puffy clouds reflect in the surface of the water. A dugout canoe with a sail skims across it. Tall and muscular CHAGA FURRO (30s) paddles in the stern. His skinny son KUMI (13) is in the bow. Chaga spots a school of tilapia. CHAGA Kumi, mind the net. (Note: Italicized dialogue is spoken in Akan African and subtitled in English.) KUMI Yes, father. Kumi gathers the net into his arms. CHAGA Do it clean. If the lines tangle it will scatter the school. Kumi throws the net overboard. He pulls in the ropes. KUMI They are strong. The ropes zip through Kumi's hands. Chaga catches them. CHAGA Place your feet on the side to give you leverage. Together, they pull the net up and into the canoe to release a wave of fish onto themselves. CHAGA Ha Ha!! Do you see this my son?! Good, good, very good! Mother will be pleased. Yes. 2. Chaga wraps Kumi in a warm hug. Kumi halfheartedly returns the embrace. EXT. ATLANTIC OCEAN - DAY Chaga paddles toward land. Kumi scans the ocean horizon through a mariner's telescope. KUMI Can we go on a trip somewhere? Maybe to visit another tribe? CHAGA We are fishermen.

In this committee, we will be looking at the Golden Age of Piracy, a period of history that has captured the imaginations of writers and filmmakers for decades. People have long been enthralled by the swashbuckling tales of pirates, their fame multiplied by famous books and movies such as Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Peter Pan. But more often than not, these portrayals have been misrepresentations, leading to a multitude of inaccuracies regarding pirates and their lifestyle. This committee seeks to change this. In the late 1710s, nearly all pirates in the Caribbean operated out of the town of Nassau, on the Bahamian island of New Providence. From there, they ravaged shipping lanes and terrorized the Caribbean’s law-abiding citizens, striking fear even into the hearts of the world’s most powerful empires. Eventually, the British had enough, and sent a man to rectify the situation — Woodes Rogers. In just a short while, Rogers was able to oust most of the pirates from Nassau, converting it back into a lawful British colony.

Kidnaps Up; Rampant oil theft costs billions; Puntland IUU Fishing order; EU funding for Caribbean - Africa or SE Asia, which has the greater maritime piracy problem? Nigerian waters has seen a surge on seafarer kidnapping recently despite the regional forces efforts to disrupt oil theft at sea and on land. Call for collaboration continues to be made, but has yet to be effective established. a Nigerian supply vessel is delated to have been hijacked almost a week after the fact. The loss of billions in crude oil theft made it a challenging 2013 for oil companies. The boarding of three vessels underway near Singapore demonstrates that it is not just petty theft at anchor that is the threat. Increased security surveillance and patrols does not mean freedom from attacks. In East Africa, the state of Puntland officially banned IUU fishing, terminating all licenses previously granted, making all foreign fishing vessels illegal - two weeks to comply. After the EU announcing a new maritime strategy, it is now providing Euro 2.5 million towards the fight against drug trafficking and criminal networks in the Caribbean.
