Ocean of Trade offers an innovative study of trade, production and
consumption across the Indian Ocean between the years 1750 and
1850. Focusing on the Vaniya merchants of Diu and Daman, Pedro
Machado explores the region's entangled histories of exchange,
including the African demand for large-scale textile production
among weavers in Gujarat, the distribution of ivory to consumers in
Western India, and the African slave trade in the Mozambique
channel that took captives to the French islands of the Mascarenes,
Brazil and the Rio de la Plata, and the Arabian peninsula and
India. In highlighting the critical role of particular South Asian
merchant networks, the book reveals how local African and Indian
consumption was central to the development of commerce across the
Indian Ocean, giving rise to a wealth of regional and global
exchange in a period commonly perceived to be increasingly
dominated by European company and private capital.
