This collection examines cloth as a material and consumer object
from early periods to the twenty-first century, across multiple
oceanic sites-from Zanzibar, Muscat and Kampala to Ajanta,
Srivijaya and Osaka. It moves beyond usual focuses on a single
fibre (such as cotton) or place (such as India) to provide a fresh,
expansive perspective of the ocean as an "interaction-based arena,"
with an internal dynamism and historical coherence forged by
material exchange and human relationships. Contributors map
shifting social, cultural and commercial circuits to chart the many
histories of cloth across the region. They also trace these
histories up to the present with discussions of contemporary trade
in Dubai, Zanzibar, and Eritrea. Richly illustrated, this
collection brings together new and diverse strands in the long
story of textiles in the Indian Ocean, past and present.
