This interdisciplinary work, the first of two volumes, presents
essays on various aspects of disease, medicine, and healing in
different locations in and around the Indian Ocean from the ninth
century to the early modern period. Themes include theoretical
explanations for disease, concepts of fertility, material culture,
healing in relation to diplomacy and colonialism, public health,
and the health of slaves and migrant workers. Overall, the books
argue that, throughout the period of study, the Indian Ocean has
been the site of multiple interconnected medical interactions that
may be viewed in the context of the environmental factors
connecting the region. The two volumes are the first to use the
Indian Ocean World as a geographical and conceptual framework for
the study of disease. It will appeal to academics and graduate
students working in the fields of medical and scientific history,
as well as in the growing fields of Indian Ocean studies and global
history.
