In a new accessible narrative, Andre Wink presents his major
reinterpretation of the long-term history of India and the Indian
Ocean region from the perspective of world history and geography.
Situating the history of the Indianized territories of South Asia
and Southeast Asia within the wider history of the Islamic world,
he argues that the long-term development and transformation of
Indo-Islamic history is best understood as the outcome of a major
shift in the relationship between the sedentary peasant societies
of the river plains, the nomads of the great Saharasian arid zone
and the seafaring populations of the Indian Ocean. This revisionist
work redraws the Asian past as the outcome of the fusion of these
different types of settled and mobile societies, placing geography
and environment at the centre of human history.
