The present volume curates papers presented at an international
conference organized at OUCIP to engage with the oceanic turn in
different fields of knowledge embracing Social Sciences, Humanities
and, Physical Sciences to project the Indian Ocean as the new
frontier of research across various disciplines. The papers are
divided into four sections: The Oceanic Reach has papers reflecting
on the received knowledge regarding the historical role and reach
of the Indian Ocean and providing new insights in the evolving
dynamics of the region. The section on Literature and Culture has
essays reflecting the different trajectories within Humanities and
Cultural Studies through which Indian Ocean has stimulated the
imagination of scholars, intellectuals, diasporic writers, and
culture historians. The section on Roots and Routes includes
accounts of the historical, cultural, religious, trade and
diasporic linkages across oceanic communities inhabiting the vast
expanse of the Indian Ocean. The final section on Power Games
includes papers that deal with the increasing interests of various
international powers in the Indian Ocean region particularly in the
context of the shift from the Asian land mass to the enormous
presence of the Indian Ocean, and the economic, political and
strategic significance that it has for the entire region. Taken
together these contributions offer both an opportunity and a
challenge for interested scholars to engage with Indian Ocean as a
new frontier of knowledge with enormous potential for research and
exploration. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or
distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan,
