Ordering Property: A Global History of Maritime Prize Law, 1498-1916.
Nathan Perl-Rosenthal is professor of history, French and Italian and law at USC Dornsife. His research focuses on the political and cultural history of Europe and the Americas in the age of revolution, with particular attention to the transnational influences that shaped modern national politics. Perl-Rosenthal has additional research interests in intellectual and socio-legal history of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
At the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Perl-Rosenthal will research the history of maritime prize (seizures of cargoes and ships at sea in wartime) from a transimperial perspective. This project explores the key role of prize-taking in the construction of the first European world empires and their transformation in the 19th century.
