Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Texas at Arlington, 2003.

The last two decades have seen a shift in research on piracy. As scholars pay relatively more attention to the role of pirates in the emergence of the early modern state, increased emphasis has been focused on the cultural and social aspects of piracy in its so called "golden age" (1680--1730). It has become increasingly clear that pirates formed a community that was democratic, egalitarian and antiauthoritarian.

520 $a The last two decades have seen a shift in research on piracy. As scholars pay relatively more attention to the role of pirates in the emergence of the early modern state, increased emphasis has been focused on the cultural and social aspects of piracy in its so called "golden age" (1680--1730). It has become increasingly clear that pirates formed a community that was democratic, egalitarian and antiauthoritarian.
520 $a This dissertation seeks to extend this research. While some scholars have identified the economic and political forces fueling the rise, growth and demise of piracy, others have identified the social processes that structured the pirate world. No in-depth examination of pirate society, however, has yet been conducted. This work seeks to fill that gap by providing a comprehensive investigation of the social world of pirates. Golden-age piracy constituted a counterculture, with a normative order and social structure that was in direct opposition to the prevailing society. The roots of this pirate counterculture are explored by utilizing a model that examines the way in which multiple cultural threads of European seafarers, indigenous populations, and maroon societies came together in the seventeenth-century Caribbean frontier. The model integrates regional frontier elements within the context of the global forces shaping the evolving nation-state, with particular attention to the changing relationships among the state, church, merchant stock companies, and pirates.
520 $a Our understanding of golden-age pirate culture has been impeded by a continued insistence on the distinction between pirates, buccaneers, and privateers. These distinctions are arbitrary, and it will be demonstrated that a political mythology surrounding all three forms of piracy has not only served the changing interests of the British nation-state but continues to influence perspectives on pirate culture and its origins.
