The Indian Ocean is famously referred to as the "cradle of
globalization," as it facilitated cultural and economic exchanges
between Africa, the Arab world, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast
Asia, and China, for 5000 years prior to European presence in the
region. As this ocean's significance has gained increasing
attention from scholars in recent years, few have examined the
'human' dimensions in Indian Ocean exchanges. Including the work of
historians, geographers, anthropologists and literary analysts,
each essay in this volume addresses a specific human factor, such
as the fate of the creole in the Bay of Bengal, creolization as a
globalized phenomenon, migrancy and diaspora, the lives of
seafarers then and now, and the lives of those who inhabit the
ocean's littoral. This volume is a necessary addition to the field
of Indian Ocean studies.

created by Medu Art Ensemble
Formed in the late 1970s, Medu Art Ensemble forcefully articulated a call to end the
apartheid system’s racial segregation and violent injustice through posters that
combined revolutionary imagery with bold slogans. Advocating for decolonization and
majority (nonwhite) rule in South Africa and neighboring countries, Medu members
were persecuted by the South African Defense Force and operated in exile across the
border in Botswana.
The People Shall Govern! features nearly all the surviving posters that Medu created
between 1979 and 1985. These objects are exceedingly rare, as they were originally
smuggled into South Africa and mounted in public places, where they were regularly
confiscated or torn down on sight. Offering new insight into the conceptual framework
of Medu’s working practice and featuring a beautiful silkscreened cover, this volume
