Economic restructuring in East Asia and India Book

Quite an interesting survey of buccaneer sexuality, touching upon many subjects—English legal codes, the evolving Western perception of sodomy, British island colonialism, masculinity, Restoration class structure—as it examines the sociosexual practises of freebooters in the West Indies circa 1640.

Worth a read if you’re interested in the workings of specific insular communities throughout history, how they adapt to unique stressors, and what daily life was like for a terror of the high seas.
