Land and Maritime Empires in the Indian Ocean

Today the history of the Indian Ocean has gained a renewed interest as it reminds us of the greatest mobility and traversal with such an impact that it forces us to rethink how the processes of such encounters operate and what the areas stand for. Many stories still remain untold inside this cosmopolitan interregional arena. The occasion of this book is here therefore to try to reshape our understanding of Africa and Asia. Land and Maritime Empires in Indian Ocean from different methodological perspectives and different themes and cultures has been the main motive of this collection of studies. The two Authors have tried to reread the role of the Indian Ocean history possibly without the classical perimetral definitions of traditional politics and international relations.
