Elusive pirates, pervasive smugglers : violence and clandestine trade in the Greater China Seas /
This volume describes and critically analyzes piracy and smuggling in the Greater China Seas region from the 16th century to the present. It takes a radical departure from the standard terra-centred histories by placing the seas at the centre rather than at the margins of our inquiries.
