Ravi Palat. The Making of an Indian Ocean World-Economy, 1250–1650: Princes, Paddy Fields, and Bazaars
This study appears to have some provenance in the author’s dissertation of a similar title, which covered 1350 to 1650. The bibliography and notes of the book under review, The Making of an Indian Ocean World-Economy, 1250–1650, indicate attention to relevant literature since the date of the dissertation. Ravi Palat’s central argument is that Asia provides an alternate background to an alternate modernity, embracing an “industrious” revolution, b…
Oman and Muscat: An Early Modern History
During the early modern period Oman held a key position in the trade routes whereby the Muslim world dominated indigenous trade in the Indian Ocean. In the second half of the eighteenth century, Oman broke free from foreign political control and became the dominant economic and naval force in the western Indian Ocean and the Gulf. This was a golden age for Omanis, when their economic power and political prestige were at their height. This study, …
Renée Worringer. Ottomans Imagining Japan: East, Middle East, and Non-Western Modernity at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
The purpose of Renée Worringer's study is to recover various aspects of a strong Japan imagined by different segments of a troubled Ottoman society. After an introductory chapter that lays out the issues and source materials involved, the next four (of nine) chapters focus on the period between 1876 and 1909, the reign of autocratic Sultan Abdülhamid II, who was interested in top-down modernization and disinterested in political reform. During th…
Sebouh David Aslanian. From the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean: The Global Trade Networks of Armenian Merchants from New Julfa
As the title suggests, this book has an enormous geographic scope carefully anchored to early modern Armenian trade communities. Scholarship on both the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean, especially for late ancient and early modern periods, has in the past fifteen years or so been increasingly creative and evocative of world history themes, such as maritime violence (piracy and hostage taking) and long-distance travel literature produced by Asi…
India and the Gulf: Encounters from the Mid-Sixteenth to the Mid-Twentieth Centuries
In 1573, the famous Mughal emperor Akbar visited the west-central Indian coastal area around the Gulf of Cambay that his forces had recently conquered. The area included the ports of Cambay and Surat. Reportedly, Akbar had never before seen the ocean, and one could only wonder what he might have thought of its possibilities or limitations.1 Akbar's familial heritage was Central Asian, and in India his experience was land-based power. Although Akb…
The Indian Ocean: A History of People and the Sea
Professor McPherson provides evidence that for millenia the Indian Ocean had a profound influence on the lives of the people who lived on its shores. Fishermen, sailors and merchants travelled its waters linking the world's earliest civilizations from Africa to East Asia in a complex web of relationships. Trade underpinned these relationships but the Ocean was also a highway for the exchange of religions, cultures and technologies, giving the Ind…
Merchants and Faith: Muslim Commerce and Culture in the Indian Ocean
Muslim Identity in Maritime Trade: General Observations and Some Evidence from the 18th-Century Persian Gulf / Indian Ocean Region
Trade is often discussed in an Islamic context with reference made to Muslim merchants. However, the significance of Islam in specific commercial circumstances is difficult to assess. Some historians label trade as “Muslim” because it was conducted by Muslims; others do so because the trade originated and/or concluded with the boundaries of an Islamic state. The label Muslim may also suggest networking, a process more familiar in relation to Arme…
