Tracing the currents of change that unite the visual and material
culture of the Islamic world across space and time The seas have
long served as both connective tissue for and barriers between
intellectual, social, and artistic traditions. Nowhere is this dual
role more evident than within the visual and material cultures of
the Islamic world. This remarkable new book brings together an
international group of scholars and curators whose contributions
address seafaring mobility's profound effect on Islamic art. Their
case studies range across the globe and span a period from Islam's
1st century to today. Contributors examine the roles of importation
and migration, travel, diplomacy, and gift giving in driving
artistic innovation and changing the social, political, and
religious institutions of an increasingly diverse Islamic world.
Taken together, these chapters embody a distinctive big-picture
approach, pulling an exceptional diversity of voices and topics
into productive dialogue.
