This book imagines the ocean as central to understanding the world
and its connections in history, literature and the social sciences.
Introducing the central conceptual category of ocean as method, it
analyzes the histories of movement and traversing across connected
spaces of water and land sedimented in literary texts, folklore,
local histories, autobiographies, music and performance. It
explores the constant flow of people, material and ideologies
across the waters and how they make their presence felt in a
cosmopolitan thinking of the connections of the world. Going beyond
violent histories of slavery and indenture that generate global
connections, it tracks the movements of sailors, boatmen, religious
teachers, merchants, and adventurers. The essays in this volume
summon up this miscegenated history in which land and water are
ever linked. A significant rethinking of world history, this volume
will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of history,
especially connected history and maritime history, literature, and
Global South studies.
