Résumé

"‘Protection’ is the term that holds together the otherwise admirably eclectic ethnographic and historical material of this book. It connects, in often unexpected ways, Somali pirates, insurance brokers in London, and NATO officers in charge of naval security in the western Indian Ocean. Although all of these actors seem to have different projects and undertake them drawing on a distinctive range of social and economic resources, Dua shows how they all speak a language of protection, whether they are pirates relying on their diya-group to outfit a raiding expedition or insurance brokers operating from the city of London.
