About this product

Product Information

The Captive Sea explores the entangled histories of Muslim and Christian captives--and, by extension, of the Spanish Empire, Ottoman Algiers, and Morocco--in the seventeenth-century to argue that piracy, captivity, and redemption helped shape the Mediterranean as an integrated region at the social, political, and economic levels.

A serious, probing look at early modern Mediterranean slavery. Daniel Hershenzon locates new and highly personalized sources within the vast bureaucratic archives of Spain and then wields them to identify and theorize the expectations and logics of behavior that underlay the captives' struggles to obtain freedom., [A] thoroughly researched, clearly structured, convincingly argued and richly documented monograph on slavery in the early modern western Mediterranean . . . It is time to follow the stories of how slaves shaped the communities at home and abroad, and Hershenzon's book will be an indispensable part of this enterprise., "[A] thoroughly researched, clearly structured, convincingly argued and richly documented monograph on slavery in the early modern western Mediterranean . . . It is time to follow the stories of how slaves shaped the communities at home and abroad, and Hershenzon's book will be an indispensable part of this enterprise."-- Bulletin of Spanish Studies, " The Captive Sea offers truly significant contributions for our understanding of Mediterranean slavery, information networks, and their role in the process of 'region formation' in the western Mediterranean. Hershenzon brilliantly illustrates the ways in which corsair activity, captivity, enslavement, and the ransom industry functioned in concert to bind together the northern and southern shores of the early modern Mediterranean."-- Journal of Modern History, "The breadth and depth of research, the insight with which Hershenzon draws out the significance of the sources, and the clarity of his writing all make this an impressive and convincing book."-- Bulletin for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies, Daniel Hershenzon persuasively shows how captivity both tore slaves from their communities and connected those communities across the Western Mediterranean. Extensively researched and bracingly argued, The Captive Sea demonstrates the agency and impact of captives in an enduringly entangled Mediterranean world., "A serious, probing look at early modern Mediterranean slavery. Daniel Hershenzon locates new and highly personalized sources within the vast bureaucratic archives of Spain and then wields them to identify and theorize the expectations and logics of behavior that underlay the captives' struggles to obtain freedom."--James Amelang, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, The breadth and depth of research, the insight with which Hershenzon draws out the significance of the sources, and the clarity of his writing all make this an impressive and convincing book., [A] thoroughly researched, clearly structured, convincingly argued and richly documented monograph on slavery in the early modern western Mediterranean . . . It is time to follow the stories of how enslaved people shaped the communities at home and abroad, and Hershenzon's book will be an indispensable part of this enterprise.
