In this innovative legal history of economic life in the Western
Indian Ocean, Bishara examines the transformations of Islamic law
and Islamicate commercial practices during the emergence of modern
capitalism in the region. In this time of expanding commercial
activity, a melange of Arab, Indian, Swahili and Baloch merchants,
planters, jurists, judges, soldiers and seamen forged the frontiers
of a shared world. The interlinked worlds of trade and politics
that these actors created, the shared commercial grammars and
institutions that they developed and the spatial and socio-economic
mobilities they engaged in endured until at least the middle of the
twentieth century. This major study examines the Indian Ocean from
Oman to India and East Africa over an extended period of time,
drawing together the histories of commerce, law and empire in a
sophisticated, original and richly textured history of capitalism
in the Islamic world.
