controversial terms linked to one of the most debated historical periods: the age of empire and colonialism. In fact, the Golden Age of Piracy encompasses the period from approximately the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries when bands of sea robbers menaced
commercial—and sometimes even military—shipping in the Caribbean, the North American eastern seaboard, the West African coast, and the Indian Ocean. This interdisciplinary roundtable seeks to redefine the role played by pirates and privateers in the ages of
empire and colonialism through the analysis of three categories of primary sources related to these phenomena:</span></p>

dilemmas that frequently erupt in ambiguous conclusions. This is due to the fact that during the tumultuous late 16th century and early 17th century, the meaning of piracy depended on a number of factors: legal matters, customary perceptions of predation,
geopolitical affairs, trade issues et alter. To increase the confusion, modern historians, especially English speakers, use the words pirates, privateers, buccaneers, and corsairs interchangeably.</span><br>

<span style="margin: 0px; border: 1pt none windowtext; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria, Georgia, serif; color: black; background-color: white">Based on the well-noted questions about piracy, maritime predation and geopolitics, this panel seeks to present
an insight into two of the most important aspects of piracy in the Caribbean and Central America during the Early Modern era:</span></li></ul>
