This comprehensive book delves into the rich tapestry of the Indian Ocean, offering a global historical perspective that encompasses a holistic understanding of the world of water. Building upon the pioneering works of maritime historian Michael Naylor Pearson, it pioneers an unconventional approach, emphasizing the oceanic space as a realm teeming with human experiences rather than merely an artifact of empire or a stage for European commercial and imperial transit, narrowly focused on trade.
The book's multidisciplinary nature presents a diverse range of approaches to writing the history of the Indian Ocean. The chapters delve into various themes, exploring the evolving nature of Indian Ocean history through diverse lenses. These include state and capital, regional identities, maritime networking, South Asian immigrants, the Bay of Bengal linkages, the East India Company, Indian seamen, formal and informal collaboration in imperial networking, scientific transfers, pearling, and the complexities surrounding colonial copyright, customs, excise, and port cities.
This volume is an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers across a wide spectrum of disciplines, including global history, modern history, maritime history, medieval history, Indian history, colonial history, and world history. It provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of the Indian Ocean, shedding light on its complex and multifaceted past and its profound impact on the world today.
