Captives and Corsairs

Zusatztext "Throughout the text, Weiss challenges binary constructs and goes beyond a comparative perspective to one of "connected" history by showing not only how captivity of Christians was related to and often interdependent upon captivity of Muslims but how Mediterranean captivity and Atlantic slavery were linked together. In this regard, she is especially convincing in demonstrating how tensions within France and between France and other European polities shaped France's involvement in the Mediterranean. Precisely because Weiss is so good in making unexpected links stand out, one is left pondering, what role did similar tensions and disagreements within the Maghribi regencies and among them play. . . Captives and Corsairs is one of the best studies of the early modern Mediterranean to have been written in the last two decades."
