Abstract

Where was the Ottoman Mediterranean? What was the legal status of
Ottoman North African provinces? Were they autonomous dependent regions or
independent sovereign entities? Just as many scholars engaged in these
questions on the Mediterranean history, Joshua White’s new book titled Piracy and Law in the Ottoman Mediterranean
is a remarkable contribution to the historiography. It basically explores the
emergence of the Ottoman Mediterranean legal space and the role piracy played
in shaping it.
