The research demonstrates that as piracy grew less ambiguous through legal and linguistic standardization, the concept of piracy lost its polemical utility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis interdisciplinary volume is ideal for researchers working in piracy studies, early modern history, and imperial history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMariana Cecilia Velázquez\u003c\/strong\u003e received her PhD in Latin American and Iberian Cultures from Columbia University.
