Buried Treasure is a light-hearted look at some of the most feared men and women who sailed the seas. The book lifts the lid or 'blows the gaff' on pirate lore and sayings, setting the record straight on the lives and ways of pirates, and revealing the meanings behind, and uses of, common maritime sayings.

"Putting a dhow captain's logbooks to imaginative use, Kuwaiti historian Fahad Bishara paints a vivid and richly detailed picture of the maritime world of the Indian Ocean in the early twentieth century. Monsoon Voyagers is at once a work of careful scholarship and a captivating, beautifully written narrative."--Amitav Ghosh, author of Sea of Poppies "A very original contribution. The book is a life story of a maritime passage, in all of its intimate detail. From this one voyage, Bishara makes inferences about larger aspects of this body of water and its many imbricated histories. Bishara is an outstanding talent, and this is an outstanding book."--Eric Tagliacozzo, author of In Asian Waters: Oceanic Worlds from Yemen to Yokohama "Rarely have a scholar's historical imagination and personal voice been so brilliantly on display as in this wonderful rendering of the Kuwaiti dhow captain (nakhoda) Al-Failakawi's logbook (ruznamah) of a sea voyage aboard the Crooked, from Kuwait across the Arabian Sea to the western Indian coast and back, in 1924-1925. Bishara subtly weaves together a wide range of mainly Arabic sources, both written and oral, to construct 'a thick account of Indian Ocean trade' that animates a complex commercial network as it operated over time and space during a critical transitional period of history. That he brilliantly achieves his goal 'to embed Gulf history back into the Indian Ocean world' is unquestioned; that he does so profoundly is a gift."--Edward A. Alpers, author of The Indian Ocean in World History "This magisterial, beautifully written account of a Kuwaiti captain's dhow journey around the Indian Ocean is at once intimate and expansive, absorbing and urgent. It draws on the daily sailing logs of the boat, private papers of seafarers and merchants, a deep knowledge of the social and economic history of the region, and a mastery of theories of capital and trade to acquaint the reader with the less familiar currents of commerce and palimpsests of relations in this historically pivotal region of the world."--Laleh Khalili, author of Sinews of War and Trade: Shipping and Capitalism in the Arabian Peninsula​

An analysis of the social and cultural history of the Arabian Red Sea maritime song tradition

Songs of the Arabian Red Sea

This first truly global history of the suppression of piracy links maritime raiding to empire building in the nineteenth century &nbsp; In the middle decades of the nineteenth century, imperial powers around the world came into direct confrontation with local resistance in the form of maritime raiding. From the Atlantic basin to the western Mediterranean Sea, the Persian Gulf and the east coast of Africa, and Southeast Asia and China, imperial powers claimed that progress was being held back by the barbarity and greed of pirates, who repeatedly attacked imperial vessels. The suppression of piracy, justified under the banner of spreading civilization and free trade and abolishing slavery and the slave trade, provided both western and non-western powers with a back door for territorial expansion and the enforcement of imperialist agendas. &nbsp; Historian Manuel Barcia tells the story of these conflicts, showing how imperialist powers frequently used anti–maritime raiding efforts as excuses to cement western supremacy in various parts of the world, while simultaneously resorting to violent means that were indistinguishable from the methods of those they accused of being pirates.
