Robert Antony teaches modern East Asian and comparative history at the University of Macau. His research focuses on maritime history as well as the history of crime and society in modern China. In addition to many articles on piracy in Asian and world history, he has published two other books on pirates, Like Froth Floating on the Sea: The World of Pirates and Seafarers in Late Imperial South China (2003) and Pirates in the Age of Sail (2007). He is currently preparing a new book on pirates and society in South China from 1837 to 1937.
This interesting anthology brings together the latest research on Asian piracy - from Japan and the Riau and Philippine islands to Singapore and China - between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries by scholars from as far afield as the US, the PRC (Hong Kong and Macau), Australia, British Columbia, France, Taiwan, and Japan. -- Dian Murray, University of Notre Dame
