How is it possible for six men to take a Liberian-flagged oil
tanker hostage and negotiate a huge pay out for the return of its
crew and 2.2 million barrels of crude oil? In his gripping new
book, Jatin Dua answers this question by exploring the
unprecedented upsurge in maritime piracy off the coast of Somalia
in the twenty-first century. Taking the reader inside pirate
communities in Somalia, onboard multinational container ships, and
within insurance offices in London, Dua connects modern day pirates
to longer histories of trade and disputes over protection. In our
increasingly technological world, maritime piracy represents not
only an interruption, but an attempt to insert oneself within the
world of oceanic trade. Captured at Sea moves beyond the binaries
of legal and illegal to illustrate how the seas continue to be key
sites of global regulation, connectivity, and commerce today.
