This original collection brings islands to the fore in a growing
body of scholarship on the Indian Ocean, examining them as hubs or
points of convergence and divergence in a world of maritime
movements and exchanges. Straddling history and anthropology and
grounded in the framework of connectivity, the book tackles central
themes such as smallness, translocality, and "the island factor."
It moves to the farthest reaches of the region, with a rich variety
of case studies on the Swahili-Comorian world, the Maldives,
Indonesia, and more. With remarkable breadth and cohesion, these
essays capture the circulations of people, goods, rituals,
sociocultural practices, and ideas that constitute the Indian Ocean
world. Together, they take up "islandness" as an explicit empirical
and methodological issue as few have done before.
