Indian Ocean Studies : Cultural, Social, and Political Perspectives Paperback / softback
Edited by Shanti Moorthy, Ashraf (University of Malaya, Malaysia) Jamal
Part of the Routledge Indian Ocean Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Indian Ocean is famously referred to as the "cradle of globalization," as it facilitated cultural and economic exchanges between Africa, the Arab world, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and China, for 5000 years prior to European presence in the region.
As this ocean's significance has gained increasing attention from scholars in recent years, few have examined the 'human' dimensions in Indian Ocean exchanges.
Including the work of historians, geographers, anthropologists and literary analysts, each essay in this volume addresses a specific human factor, such as the fate of the creole in the Bay of Bengal, creolization as a globalized phenomenon, migrancy and diaspora, the lives of seafarers then and now, and the lives of those who inhabit the ocean's littoral.
This volume is a necessary addition to the field of Indian Ocean studies.
