Description
Trade, Circulation, and Flow in the Indian Ocean World is a collection which covers a long time span and diverse areas around the ocean. Many of the essays look at the Indian Ocean before Europeans arrived, reminding the reader that there was a cohesive Indian Ocean. This collection includes empirical studies and essays focused on particular area or production. The essays cover various aspects of trade and exchange, the Indian Ocean as a world-system, East African and Chinese connections with the Indian Ocean World, and the movement of people and ideas around the ocean.
Reviews / Votes
"It is an excellent book, addressing critical questions in maritime history concerning its spatial substance and conceptualisation. . All the chapters are heavily annotated with rich bibliographies. . they rather provide a solid contribution to the rapidly growing corpus of literature on the Indian Ocean World and a creative point of departure for oceanic orientations to world history." (David Ludden, The International Journal of Maritime History, Vol. 29 (1), February, 2017)More details
