The suppression of piracy and other forms of maritime violence was
a keystone in the colonisation of Southeast Asia. Focusing on what
was seen in the nineteenth century as the three most
pirate-infested areas in the region - the Sulu Sea, the Strait of
Malacca and Indochina - this comparative study in colonial history
explores how piracy was defined, contested and used to resist or
justify colonial expansion, particularly during the most intense
phase of imperial expansion in Southeast Asia from c.1850 to
c.1920. In doing so, it demonstrates that piratical activity
continued to occur in many parts of Southeast Asia well beyond the
mid-nineteenth century, when most existing studies of piracy in the
region end their period of investigation. It also points to the
changes over time in how piracy was conceptualised and dealt with
by each of the major colonial powers in the region - Britain,
France, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States. This title is
also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
