Reflections while in Mauritius
Amitav Ghosh reflects on Khal Torabully and V.S. Naipaul whilst travelling in Mauritius to undertake research for his novel Sea of Poppies
The Nutmeg's Curse
"The Nutmeg's Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis frames climate change and the Anthropocene as the culmination of a history that begins with the discovery of the New World and of the sea route to the Indian Ocean. Ghosh makes the case that the political dynamics of climate change today are rooted in the centuries-old geopolitical order that was constructed by Western colonialism. This argument is set within a broader narrative about human ent…
The Great Derangement
Storytelling and the Spectrum of the Past
This article is a response to four contributions to a forum on the author’s cycle of novels, the Ibis Trilogy, consisting of Sea of Poppies (2008), River of Smoke (2011), and Flood of Fire (2015). The novels are set in India and China around the time of the first Opium War (1839–1842 c . e .). The author argues that historical fiction is one of several modes of discourse about the past, and that while academic history is certainly the most author…

A Correspondence on Provincializing Europe
The Ghat of the Only World
T first time that Agha Shahid Ali spoke to me about his approaching death was on April .The conversation began routinely.I had telephoned to remind him that we had been invited to a friend's house for lunch and that I was going to come by his apartment to pick him up.Although he had been under treatment for cancer for some fourteen months, Shahid was still on his feet and perfectly lucid, except for occasional lapses of memory.I heard him thumbin…
Fortifications and the Synagogue
The Global Reservation
A Meditation on History
Some ten years ago Amitav Ghosh, then a graduate student in anthropology at Oxford, chanced upon a letter written in AD 1139 by a merchant, Khalaf ibn Ishaq, and addressed to a friend and fellow merchant by the name of Abraham Ben Yiju. Khalaf ibn Ishaq was at that time living in Aden, and it is perhaps, as Ghosh avers, 'nothing less than a miracle that anything is known about him', for ibn Ishaq was just one of many merchants involved in the Ind…

Tambiah on Ritual
The Relations of Envy in an Egyptian Village
Although beliefs and practices related to the evil eye are almost certainly as common as witchcraft or sorcery, they have received much less attention from anthropologists. Folklorists on the other hand, have collected a good deal of material on the subject (Dorson 1968:417), but much of it is inventorial in its perspective; objects, artifacts and practices believed to ward off the evil eye are simply listed without reference to their social cont…
