The second half of the nineteenth century marks a watershed in
human history. Railroads linked remote hinterlands with cities;
overland and undersea cables connected distant continents. New and
accessible print technologies made the wide dissemination of ideas
possible; oceangoing steamers carried goods to faraway markets and
enabled the greatest long-distance migrations in recorded history.
In this volume, leading scholars of the Islamic world recount the
enduring consequences these technological, economic, social, and
cultural revolutions had on Muslim communities from North Africa to
South Asia, the Indian Ocean, and China. Drawing on a multiplicity
of approaches and genres, from commodity history to biography to
social network theory, the essays in "Global Muslims in the Age of
Steam and Print" offer new and diverse perspectives on a
transnational community in an era of global transformation.
