This book breaks new ground by bringing together multidisciplinary
approaches to examine contemporary Indian Ocean worlds. It
reconfigures the Indian Ocean as a space for conceptual and
theoretical relationality based on social science and humanities
scholarship, thus moving away from an area-based and geographical
approach to Indian Ocean studies. Contributors from a variety of
disciplines focus on keywords such as relationality, space/place,
quotidian practices, and new networks of memory and maps to offer
original insights to reimagine the Indian Ocean. While the volume
as a whole considers older histories, mobilities, and relationships
between places in Indian Ocean worlds, it is centrally concerned
with new connectivities and layered mappings forged in the lived
experiences of individuals and communities today. The chapters are
steeped in ethnographic, multi-modal, and other humanities
methodologies that examine different sources besides historical
archives and textual materials, including everyday life, cities,
museums, performances, the built environment, media, personal
narratives, food, medical practices, or scientific explorations. An
important contribution to several fields, this book will be of
interest to academics of Indian Ocean studies, Afro-Asian linkages,
inter-Asian exchanges, Afro-Arab crossroads, Asian studies, African
studies, Anthropology, History, Geography, and International
Relations.
