This book chronicles the earliest histories of familiar tropical
Asian crops in the ancient Middle East and the Mediterranean, from
rice and cotton to citruses and cucumbers. Drawing on
archaeological materials and textual sources in over seven ancient
languages, The Tropical Turn unravels the breathtaking
anthropogenic peregrinations of these familiar crops from their
homelands in tropical and subtropical Asia to the Middle East and
the Mediterranean, showing the significant impact South Asia had on
the ecologies, dietary habits, and cultural identities of peoples
across the ancient world. In the process, Sureshkumar Muthukumaran
offers a fresh narrative history of human connectivity across
Afro-Eurasia from the Bronze Age to the late centuries BCE.
