Based on substantial ethnographic, textual and archival
research, this interesting book offers a new perspective on the
anthropology of the western Indian Ocean. Writing in a clear,
engaging style, and covering an impressive range of theoretical
terrain, Simpson critically explores the relationships between
people and things that give life to the region and drive shifting
patterns of social change among Muslims in the highly-politicized
state of Gujarat.
Scholars of the Indian Ocean, Muslim society in South Asia, and
Hindu nationalism, as well as anthropologists in general, will find
this a fascinating read and a major contribution to research in
this area.
