The Worlds of the Indian Ocean (Hardcover)
[Buy it!] | Philippe Beaujard | USD 220.65
(Wed May 29 00:00:51 2024) | AbebooksAU | AussieBookSeller | ISBN10: 1108424562, ISBN13: 9781108424561, [publisher: Cambridge University Press, Cambridge] Hardcover Hardcover. Europe's place in history is re-assessed in this first comprehensive history of the ancient world, centering on the Indian Ocean and its role in pre-modern globalization. Philippe Beaujard presents an ambitious and comprehensive global history of the Indian Ocean world, from the earliest state formations to 1500 CE. Supported by a wealth of empirical data, full color maps, plates, and figures, he shows how Asia and Africa dominated the economic and cultural landscape and the flow of ideas in the pre-modern world. This led to a trans-regional division of labor and an Afro-Eurasian world economy. Beaujard questions the origins of capitalism and hints at how this world-system may evolve in the future. The result is a reorienting of world history, taking the Indian Ocean, rather than Europe, as the point of departure. Volume I provides in-depth coverage of the period from the fourth millennium BCE to the sixth century CE. The Indian Ocean replaces Europe at the center of the globalization of the pre-modern world in this first volume examination of how the region's networks of trade, labor, technology, institutions, ideas and culture shaped a pre-modern world system.
