Alfabetico per autori:
Nota di metodo
La bibliografia segue un ordinamento alfabetico per autore (nella forma cognome, nome). Dove la formulazione di responsabilità è riconducibile ad un ente, temporaneo o meno, ho indicizzato quest'ultimo.
Poiché ho ritenuto importante valutare in un sol colpo d'occhio l'intera produzione intellettuale degli autori sugli argomenti di pertinenza ho preferito citare insieme articoli e monografie. Per evitare ripetizioni, cognome e nome dell'autore sono citati una sola volta. Se le opere riconducibili a un'autore sono più d'una, alla prima citazione segue un "-" in luogo di cognome e nome dell'autore.
Più opere dello stesso autore sono inserite in ordine cronologico senza distinzione fra articoli, curatele, monografie, etc. Le eventuali pubblicazioni sine data sono inserite all'inizio dell'elenco.
Per rendere graficamente più leggibile l'elenco è stata inserita una riga vuota fra le citazioni riconducibili a un autore e quelle riconducibili al successivo. Le citazioni sono numerate.
Inoltre, essendo la presente una bibliografia selettiva ho deciso di introdurre un campo di note. In carattere ridotto sotto alla citazione bibliografica si trovano, laddove è stato possibile reperirle, recensioni, indici dei contenuti, abstract o note informative (da me inserite e che compaiono seguite dalla sigla [n.d.r.]) utili per comprendere le caratteristiche e i contenuti della pubblicazione citata. Fra parentesi quadre, di seguito al testo, compare l'autore della nota (viene usata la dicitura [editoriale] qualora le fonti non citino autori. Di seguito, fra parentesi tonde, compare, eventualmente, la fonte on-line da cui il testo è stato raccolto (http://...). Le note sono nella lingua in cui sono state reperite (principalmente inglese).
Cognome e nome dell'autore sono separati da una virgola. Il cognome è segnalato in maiuscolo e in grassetto. Nel caso di opere intitolate a enti, essi vengono citati per intero ed eventualmente seguiti dall'acronimo riconosciuto dell'ente, fra parentesi tonde; dove non è stato possibile reperire il nome proprio di un autore, sono state lasciate le iniziali. Eventuali prefissi del cognome (es. Von, Van, etc.) sono inseriti dopo il nome proprio e preceduti da una virgola. Se più autori condividono la responsabilità intellettuale dell'opera, sono citati uno di seguito all'altro (separati da un ";"), seguendo l'ordine in cui vengono citati nei frontespizi o nella parte descrittiva delle schede catalografiche consultate on-line, per un numero non maggiore di tre, nel qual caso seguirà la dicitura "...et al." fra parentesi quadre. In grassetto, per motivi di rilievo grafico, va solo il cognome del primo autore. Se l'autore citato è il curatore dell'opera al suo nome segue, fra parentesi, la dicitura (a cura di). L'eventuale traduttore o curatore di una monografia la cui responsabilità sull'opera sia subordinata a quella dell'autore, è citato di seguito al titolo e fra parentesi tonde, usando diciture convenzionali quali ad esempio "traduzione di...", "a cura di..." o "traduzione e presentazione a cura di...".
Qualora sia stato possibile reperirle, le date di nascita e (eventuale) morte dell'autore, sono state segnalate. Sono racchiuse in parentesi quadre subito dopo il nome proprio dell'autore (o dopo il prefisso). Qualora l'autore sia ancora vivo la forma usata sarà ["data di nascita"-]. Qualora non sia stato possibile reprire la data di morte la forma usata è ["data di nascita-?"];
Le fonti usate per la determinazione dei nomi propri degli autori e dell'anno di nascita o morte degli stessi sono, oltre ai frontespizi delle opere, principalmente l'authority file della Library of Congress (http://lcmarc.dra.com/db/LCAUTH/author.html) e i campi author del catalogo on-line della biblioteca della School of Oriental and African Studies (http://lib.soas.ac.uk/). Sebbene i risultati di questa ricerca parallela non siano completi e, quindi, creino una difformità all'interno delle citazioni, mi è sembrato utile presentarli comunque, in ragione del fatto che la bibliografia è ordinata per autore. Per lo stesso motivo ho ritenuto utile introdurre il seguente sistema di rinvii: per indicare un rimando a opere scritte a più mani e indicizzate a nome di un autore diverso da quello citato, è usata la dicitura "vedi in" preceduta da una virgola e seguita dal cognome dell'autore, dal titolo dell'opera abbreviato (e seguito da un "..."), e dalla data di pubblicazione (preceduta da una virgola) dell'opera cui il rimando si riferisce. È usata invece la dicitura "vedi" fra parentesi quadre subito dopo il nome di un autore, per segnalare che monografie o articoli di quell'autore compaiono nella bibliografia.
I titoli delle monografie, che seguono nome e congnome dell'autore, sono preceduti da una virgola. L'eventuale complemento del titolo è citato di seguito al titolo, e separato da esso da un ":". L'anno di pubblicazione è separato dal titolo con una virgola. È indicato fra parentesi quadre se l'anno di pubblicazione è desunto da fonti non prescritte dalle regole di descrizione bibliografica ISBD, o è preceduto da una "c" qualora l'unico riferimento cronologico apprezzabile sia la data di copyright. Nel caso non sia stato possibile datare la pubblicazione ho usato la dicitura "sine data" abbreviata (s.d.), fra parentesi quadre. Il luogo di pubblicazione è preceduto da una virgola. Qualora sia stato impossibile risalire al luogo di pubblicazione è usata, in acronimo, la dicitura "sine loco" (s.l.), fra parentesi quadre. Il luogo di pubblicazione è citato nella lingua del volume. Nel caso che il luogo di pubblicazione sia equivocabile (ad es. Brookfield Illinois o Brookfield Vermont) viene specificata fra parentesi la sigla dello Stato in cui il luogo si trova (nel caso degli Stati Uniti, in cui le ambiguità sono più frequenti, alla specificazione dello stato segue la sigla "US").
Ho tentato di citare solo le prime edizioni delle opere. Qualora le successive edizioni non siano semplici ristampe o, comunque, sembrino ospitare nuovi contenuti o approfondimenti, esse sono citate a parte, facendo precedere alla data di pubblicazione, fra virgole, l'indicazione dell'edizione per esteso. Se l'opera è stata pubblicata in contemporanea in luoghi diversi, questi sono citati insieme e separati da un "-". Quando l'opera è stata pubblicata in un luoghi e anni diversi, essi sono citati l'uno di seguito all'altro, in ordine cronologico, e separati da un ";".
I titoli degli articoli sono preceduti da una virgola e citati fra virgolette. Segue il titolo della rivista, preceduto da una virgola e da "in", o il titolo della raccolta, che viene citata seguendo le regole valide per le monografie. Nel caso in cui l'articolo citato sia contenuto in una rivista compare, di seguito al titolo della stessa, il luogo di pubblicazione (preceduto da una virgola), la numerazione del volume in numero arabo, l'anno di pubblicazione (fra parentesi tonde), la numerazione delle pagine (preceduta da una virgola nella forma "nnn"-"nnn"). Nel caso sia necessario indicare, oltre al luogo di pubblicazione, al numero del volume, all'anno di pubblicazione e alla numerazione delle pagine, anche il numero della serie, essa è inserita di seguito alla numerazione del volume, in numeri arabi, dopo una virgola.
Eventuali titoli paralleli sono separati da un "/". Maiuscole e minuscole nei titoli seguono il criterio adottato sui frontespizi o seguendo il criterio usato nella parte descrittiva delle schede catalografiche consultate on-line o, in alternativa, usando il criterio in uso nel paese di pubblicazione.
Un'ultima nota: in considerazione del fatto che quella che segue intende essere una bibliografia selettiva e in conseguenza al lavoro di spoglio e lettura, purtroppo abbastanza ridotto, ho deciso di citare articoli particolarmente interessanti all'interno di raccolte anch'esse citate. Frutto di spoglio e lettura è anche la citazione di titoli che potrebbero apparire, sulle prime, poco pertinenti.

5. -, Ceylon and the Dutch, 1600-1800: external influences and internal change in early modern Sri Lanka, Aldershot; Brookfield (Vermont, US), 1996
A collection of articles written over a period of three decades, detailing the early modern history of Sri Lanka and the interaction of its society with external influences. Covers political relations, administrative systems, social structures, and religious influences, in essays on topics such as Dutch sovereignty in Ceylon, the 1638 Westervolt treaty, the administrative organization of the Dutch East India Company in Ceylon, the Vellalar of north Ceylon in the 18th century, and the first century of Protestant Christianity in Jaffna. Does not have a new, continuous pagination. [editoriale] (http://www.amazon.com).
This collection of essays, the second by Professor Arasaratnam, represents over three decades of scholarship on the impact of the Dutch on the society and economy of Ceylon, and is introduced by a new essay reflecting on the historiography of the period. Basing himself on unpublished material held in the archives of the Netherlands and Sri Lanka, the author explores a number of related themes: the place of the island in international commerce; the political and administrative processes by means of which the Dutch established themselves; the impact of Christian missionary activity; and the indigenous reaction to and accommodation with Dutch power. Dutch colonial rule over some 150 years was responsible for initiating many changes in traditional institutions, and an understanding of these changes is important in explaining an ongoing process of modernization in Sri Lankan society. At the same time, the studies together present a valuable case study of the interaction between a colonial power and the indigenous people. [editoriale] (http://www.ashgate.com/)

6. -, Maritime Commerce and English Power: Southeast India, 1750-1800, Aldershot, 1996
This book builds on Professor Arasaratnam's many years of research in the British, Dutch and Southern Indian archives. Some of the results of this he has already published in a long series of articles and in a study of the commerce of the Coromandel coast in the period 1650-1740. The present work takes this forward to the period when the English had emerged successful from the conflict with the French, and were consolidating their control of the region, notwithstanding challenges from the newly risen kingdom of Mysore. The aim of this work is to analyse the extension of English control over major sectors of the region's economy, distinguishing different stages in this process. The textile industry was the English East India Company's prime concern, and this is reflected in the detailed treatment accorded to it here. A great deal of evidence on the progress of the industry and the export trade is assembled, and the author devotes particular attention to the constant interaction between the English Company's policies and their consequences on the ground. The final section of the book then extends the analysis to give a broader discussion of the region's trade, both coastal and long-distance, especially to Southeast Asia, and to examine the effects the changing situation had on local merchants and entrepreneurs.

This book draws on Dutch, Tamil, and English sources to document India's overseas trade and commercial economy during what was arguably their most dynamic and productive period. The author looks at four maritime zones--Gujarat, Malabar, Coromandel, and Bengal--examining their ports, seas, and commerce, and sketching the general trends of this commerce and the major external and internal influences that had an impact on them.

The particular focus of these articles is on the southern part of the Indian subcontinent and its relations with Southeast Asia. A number deal specifically with the Coromandel coast, its ports and merchant communities, while some are more concerned with the Indian Ocean region as a whole. In the 17th and 18th centuries the Indian Ocean littoral was an intense interaction between the European powers competing for Asian trade, and numerous Asian states and communities traditionally engaged in that trade. In his analysis Professor Arasaratnam argues that Asian trade peaked around the 1680's, and that its subsequent decline should be linked to the consequences of the decline of the Mughal Empire. At the same time, the European trading companies, first the Dutch, then the English, with the French having some share, which had integrated themselves into the regional patterns of commerce, were then able to enhance their position: the Dutch had failed to establish a stranglehold, but by the end of this period the English had achieved domination, and not only over the coast, but the hinterland as well.

21. BOXBERGER, Linda [1951-], On the edge of empire: Hadhramawt, emigration, and the Indian Ocean, 1880s-1930s, Albany, 2002
The social and political history of Qu'ayti and Kathiri sultanates of Hadhramawt during their gradual incorporation into the British Empire. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Offering a new perspective on a little-studied society, On the Edge of Empire examines the gradual incorporation of the Qu`ayti and Kathiri sultanates of Hadhramawt in the southern Arabian Peninsula into the British Empire during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Boxberger shows how changes in political and social institutions fostered contestation at all levels, from rivalries over territory and political power, to heated debates over religious and educational reform, to efforts to regulate wedding customs and women's dress. Based on extensive fieldwork, this ethnographic and historical narrative draws upon a wide variety of sources, including British documents and accounts; local documents, manuscripts and rare printed materials; extensive interviews with Hadhrami elders from all walks of life; and proverbs, poetry, and tribal lore. Clearly written and richly textured, this book is a welcome contribution to the study of Yemen, the historical ethnography of the Middle East, and the literature on the Islamic societies of the Indian Ocean littoral.

These articles deal with the functioning, and malfunctioning, of the Carreira da India, the round voyages made between Portugal and its possessions in India that began after Vasco da Gama had opened up the route round the Cape of Good Hope in 1497-99. On such voyages was the Portuguese colonial empire built, and these studies illustrate the conditions under which they operated - the ships, the crews, their navigation and their cargoes. For instance, details are given of the medicines carried on board and the hospital established at the way-station of Moçambique in an attempt to combat the perennial scourge of disease. The principal hazard, however, remained that of loss through shipwreck or enemy action, events all too common in the history of the Carreira, which are brought to life most vividly in the Portuguese literary classic, the História Trágico-Marítima; the early printed editions of such tales form the subject of two of the articles and the backdrop to much of the volume.

26. -, Dutch merchants and mariners in Asia, 1602-1795, London, 1988
Although later than the Portuguese in reaching the coasts of Asia, the Dutch became in the 17th and 18th centuries the most important of the European nations engaged in the Asian trade - in terms both of the quantity and value of the cargoes shipped, and the number of ports involved. In those centuries the V.O.C., the Dutch East India Company, was the greatest mercantile corporation in the world, and these articles deal with its activities in Asia, from the Indian Ocean to the Far East. They look at the company's failures, successes and conflicts: the loss of Formosa to the Chinese in 1662, the wealth it drew from the Japan trade and the extent of its influence there, and the rivalry with other European nations, notably the English and the French. The final studies, on the failing years of the V.O.C., look also at the career of Isaac Titsingh, at once a successful servant of the V.O.C. and one of the few to take a seriously scholarly interest in the Orient.

Compared with that still stimulated by the European discovery of the Americas, the Portuguese exploration of Asia has evoked a surprisingly blockquoteer degree of scholarly interest. Yet it was in the 15th-16th centuries that emerged the forces that shaped the modern history of the lands of the Indian Ocean: the spread of Islam and the establishment of the Europeans. It is to these events that the author here turns her attention. Similarly, while the Portuguese sources for the period are rich, they have been exploited above all from the viewpoint of economic history; though far from ignoring this perspective, the author's concern has been to reveal the wealth of information they also provide on local political and social history, as well as on the first decades of Portuguese naval expansion and the reactions that this provoked. Coastal India, in particular Malabar, and Sri Lanka form the centre of attention, but some articles trace the first Portuguese voyages on further, to Indochina, or refer back to the influence of the Islamic Middle East.

Before the age of Industrial Revolution, the great Asian civilisations - whether located in the Middle East, India, South-East Asia, or the Far East - constituted areas not only of high culture but also of advanced economic development. They were the First World of human societies. This book examines one of the driving forces of that historical period: the long chain of oceanic trade which stretched from the South China Sea to the eastern Mediterranean, passing through a series of rich urban emporia. It also looks at the natural complement of the seaborne commerce, its counterpart in the caravan trade. In analytical terms, the book emphasises the methods of multi-dimensional history by highlighting the intricate relationship between space, time and structure. Its main achievement is to show how socially determined demand derived from cultural habits and interpretations operated through the medium of market forces and relative prices. It points out, for the first time, the unique and limiting features of Asian commercial capitalism, and shows how the contribution of Asian merchants was valued universally, in reality if not legally and formally. Professor Chaudhuri's book, based on more than twenty years' research and reflection on pre-modern trade and civilisations, is a landmark in the analysis and interpretation of Asia's historical position and development.

40. -, Asia before Europe, economy and civilisation of the Indian Ocean from the rise of Islam to 1750, Cambridge (UK), 1990; trad. it., Roma, 1994
This book explores the dynamic interaction between economic life, society and civilization in the regions around and beyond the Indian Ocean during the period from the rise of Islam to 1750. Within a distinctive theory of comparative history, Professor Chaudhuri analyzes how the identity of different Asian civilizations was established. He examines the structural features of food habits, clothing, architectural styles and housing; the different modes of economic production; and the role of crop raising, pastoral nomadism, and industrial activities for the main regions of the Indian Ocean. In an original and perceptive conclusion, the author demonstrates how Indian Ocean societies were united or separated from one another by a conscious cultural and linguistic identity. However, there was a deeper structure of unities created by a common ecology, technology of economic production, traditions of government, theory of political obligations and rights, and a shared historical experience. His theory enables the author to show that the real Indian Ocean was an area that extended historically from the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf to the sea that lies beyond Japan.

55. -, Merchants of Maritime India, 1500-1800, Aldershot, 1994
First published between 1960 and 1992 in a variety of books and journals, 16 essays revolve around Indian trade in the Indian Ocean over the three centuries during which European influence became dominant. Many discuss the general features of particular periods or regions; others focus on specific topics such as Malabar, Surat, the Red Sea, brokerage, partnerships, European sources, and the maritime city. [editoriale] (http://www.amazon.com)
The focus of this volume is the rise and fall of the Indian maritime merchant in the early modern period: the heyday of Moghul Surat, the appearance of a group of independent merchant shipowners, and their eclipse at the end of the period in the face of European competition and monopolies. Much of the evidence for the activity of these Indian merchants comes from the records of the Dutch and English East India Companies, as well as the papers of English private merchants, and this is carefully assessed by Professor Das Gupta in these articles. He is also concerned to set the picture thus gained in the context of the trade of the Indian Ocean region as a whole, and to relate it to the questions of continuity and change raised by Van Leur.

This volume covers the long neglected history of Hadhramaut (southern Arabia) during the modern colonial era, together with the history of Hadhrami "colonies" in the Malay world, southern India, the Red Sea, and East Africa. After an introduction placing Hadhramis in the context of other diasporas, there are sections on local and international politics, social stratification and integration, religious and social reform, and economic dynamics. The conclusion brings the story to the present day and outlines a research agenda. Many aspects of Indian Ocean history are illuminated by this book, notably the role of non-Western merchants in the spread of capitalism, Islamisation and the controversies which raged within Islam, British and Ottoman strategic concerns, social antagonisms in southern Arabia, and the cosmopolitan character of coastal societies.

There is a tremendous amount of information packed into one-hundred fifty-five pages, but the historical record of navigational and commercial life in the Indian Ocean is written in a dynamic and meaningful way.

98. -, Arab Seafearing in the Indian Ocean in Ancient and Early Medieval Times (edizione rivista ed ampliata a cura di CARSWELL, John), Princeton, terza edizione, 1995
In this classic work George Hourani deals with the history of the sea trade of the Arabs in the Indian Ocean from its obscure origins many centuries before Christ to the time of its full extension to China and East Africa in the ninth and tenth centuries. The book comprises a brief but masterly historical account that has never been superseded. The author gives attention not only to geography, meteorology, and the details of travel, but also to the ships themselves, including a discussion of the origin of stitched planking and of the lateen fore-and-aft sails. Piracy in the Indian Ocean, day-to-day life at sea, the establishment of ancient lighthouses and the production of early maritime guides, handbooks, and port directories are all described in fascinating detail. Arab Seafaring will appeal to anyone interested in Arab life or the history of navigation. For this expanded edition, John Carswell has added a new introduction, a bibliography, and notes that add material from recent archaeological research. [editoriale] (http://www.amazon.com)

114. LEVATHES, Louise, When China Ruled the Seas: The Treasure Fleet of the Dragon Throne, 1405-1433, New York, 1994
A hundred years before Columbus and his fellow Europeans began making their way to the New World, fleets of giant Chinese junks commanded by the eunuch admiral Zheng He and filled with the empire's finest porcelains, lacquerware and silk ventured to the edge of the world's "four corners." It was a time of exploration and conquest, but it ended in a retrenchment so complete that less than a century later, it was a crime to go to sea in a multimasted ship. In When China Ruled the Seas, Louise Levathes takes a fascinating and unprecedented look at this dynamic period in China's enigmatic history, focusing on China's rise as a naval power that literally could have ruled the world and at its precipitious plunge into isolation when a new emperor ascended the Dragon Throne. During the brief period from 1405 to 1433, seven epic expeditions brought China's "treasure ships" across the China Seas and the Indian Ocean, from Taiwan to the spice islands of Indonesia and the Malabar coast of India, on to the rich ports of the Persian Gulf and down the African coast, China's "El Dorado," and perhaps even to Australia, three hundred years before Captain Cook was credited with its discovery. With over 300 ships--some measuring as much as 400 feet long and 160 feet wide, with upwards of nine masts and twelve sails, and combined crews sometimes numbering over 28,000 men--the emperor Zhu Di's fantastic fleet was a virtual floating city, a naval expression of his Forbidden City in Beijing. The largest wooden boats ever built, these extraordinary ships were the most technically superior vessels in the world with innovations such as balanced rudders and bulwarked compartments that predated European ships by centuries. For thirty years foreign goods, medicines, geographic knowledge, and cultural insights flowed into China at an extraordinary rate, and China extended its sphere of political power and influence throughout the Indian Ocean. Half the world was in China's grasp, and the rest could easily have been, had the emperor so wished. But instead, China turned inward, as succeeding emperors forbade overseas travel and stopped all building and repair of oceangoing junks. Disobedient merchants and seamen were killed, and within a hundred years the greatest navy the world had ever known willed itself into extinction. The period of China's greatest outward expansion was followed by the period of its greatest isolation. Drawing on eye-witness accounts, official Ming histories, and African, Arab, and Indian sources, many translated for the first time, Levathes brings readers inside China's most illustrious scientific and technological era. She sheds new light on the historical and cultural context in which this great civilization thrived, as well as the perception of other cultures toward this little understood empire at the time. Beautifully illustrated and engagingly written, When China Ruled the Seas is the fullest picture yet of the early Ming Dynasty--the last flowering of Chinese culture before the Manchu invasions. è[editorialò[editoriale](http://www.amazon.com)

Fishermen, sailors and merchants traveled its waters linking the world's earliest civilizations from Africa to East Asia in a complex web of relationships. The ocean was also a highway for the exchange of religions, cultures and technologies, giving the Indian Ocean region an identity as a largely self-contained "world." This important study traces the history of the Indian Ocean from ages past to the present day. [editoriale] (http://www.amazon.com)

144. -, The Portuguese in India, Cambridge (UK), 1987
The Portuguese were the first European imperial power in Asia. Dr Pearson's volume of their history is a clear account of their activities in India and the Indian Ocean from the sixteenth century onwards written squarely from an Indian point of view. Laying particular stress on social, economic and religious interaction between Portuguese and Indians, the author argues that the Portuguese in fact had a more limited impact on everyday life in India than is sometimes supposed. Their imperial effort was characterised throughout more by reciprocity and interaction than by any unilateral imposition of Portuguese mores and political structures. The book as a whole has a significance well beyond its ostensible subject since it illuminates a whole range of more general historical themes including religious conversion, race relations, the nature of pre-modern society and early colonialism, and the very beginnings of the world economy.

By turns exotic, valuable and of cardinal importance in the development of world trade, spices, as the editor reminds us, are today a mundane accessory in any well-equiped kitchen; in the 15th-18th centuries, the spice trade from the Indian Ocean to markets all over the world was a major economic enterprise. Setting the scene with extracts from Garcia da Orta's fascinating contemporary Colloquies on the drugs and simples of India [Goa 1563], this collection reviews trade in a wide variety of spices, exploring merchant organisation, transport and marketing as well as detailing the quantitative evidence on the fluctuations in spice trade. The evidence and historical debates concerning the 16th-century revival of the Mediterranean and Red Sea spice trade at this time, are fully represented here. [editoriale] (http://www.ashgate.com)

Over many centuries the Swahili coast of East Africa had intricate connections with India, with the Islamic world, and with the peoples of the interior. There was major economic, social, and religious interchange. The intrusion of the Portuguese in the sixteenth century was merely the latest of many foreign influences. This study in world history examines a particular time and place to show the diversity and complexity of cultural and economic contacts. Historian Michael N. Pearson begins with a discussion of the uses and abuses of history in the region. He then sets the stage by establishing the geographic and historical relevance of the position of the Swahili coast in the Indian Ocean. He explores the role of port cities and their orientation, relations between the coast and the interior, the place of the coast in the world economy, and the impact of the Portuguese in the early modern period. Based on the author's own extensive research and travel in the Swahili coast region. Port Cities and Intruders will be of interest not only to those who work on East Africa but also to historians of the early modern period and to comparative historians.

153. POUWELS, Randall Lee [1944 -], Horn and Crescent: Cultural change and Traditional Islam on the East African Coast, 800-1900, Cambridge (UK), 1987
In this first major historical study of Islam among the Swahili, Randall Pouwels shows how Islam and other aspects of coastal civilization have evolved since about AD 1000 as an organic whole. Coastal Africans, he argues, simply adopted Islam as the spiritual vehicle best suited to their expanding intellectual needs and to meeting the opportunities presented by their physical and cultural environment. The culture and religion that developed were strong, rich, supple, self-assured. yet capable of accommodating change where it was unavoidable or preferable. All these characteristics were put to the test in the nineteenth century, when coastal peoples were subjected to intense Arabizing and Westernizing influences. Pouwels demonstrates how local people went on asserting their own traditions while assimilating what they chose from both worlds. East African Muslims, therefore faced the twentieth century divided on issues of local cultural autonomy and the need to conform to external cultural pressures.

154. PRAKASH, Om [1940-], Precious metals and commerce: the Dutch East India Company in the Indian Ocean trade, Aldershot; Brookfield (Vermont, USA), 1994
When European merchants reached Asia, all they had to exchange for the spices, textiles, and other exotic goods they coveted were precious metals, minted or unminted. Prakash (economics, U. of Delhi, India) focuses on the activities of the Dutch East India Company through the 17th and 18th centuries to explore the impact of the influx of silver and gold on Asian economies, trading privileges and restrictions, the opium monopoly, coinage, prices, urbanization, and other aspects. The 16 essays were originally published 1972-91. [editoriale] (http://www.amazon.com)
Precious metals played a key role in inter-continental trade between Europe and Asia in the early modern period. An assured supply of these metal was indeed a pre-requisite to the procurement of Asian goods such as spices, textiles and raw silk. Once these metals had been imported into Asia, they were converted into the coinage of the country concerned. The 'bullion for goods' pattern of trade had important implications for the level of output, income, employment and prices in the Asian societies. This collection of essays by Professor Om Prakash explores these issues in relation mainly to the Dutch East India Company. Given the scale of its operations, as well as its unique character as the only European corporate group to engage in large scale intra-Asian trade as an integral part of its overall trading strategy, the VOC is a particularly appropriate medium through which to analyse these issues.

This volume, by offering a score of new insights derived from a wide variety of recent archaeological and textual sources, bring to life an important overseas trading port in Southeast Asia: Quanzhou. During the Song and Yuan dynasties active official and unofficial engagement in trade had formative effects on the development of the maritime trade of Quanzhou and its social and economic position both regionally and supraregionally. In the first part subjects such as the impact of the Song imperial clan and the local élites on these developments, the economic importance of metals, coins, paper money, and changes in the political economy, are amply discussed. The second part concentrates on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of archaeological data and materials, the investigation of commodities from China, their origins, distribution and final destinations, the use of foreign labour, and the particular role of South Thailand in trade connections, thus supplying the hard data underlying the main argument of the book.

This book is the first of a projected series of five which aims to analyse the process of momentous and long-term change which came with the Islamization of the regions which the Arabs called al-Hind, that is India and large parts of its Indianized hinterland. The series is set up in a chronological order, starting with the early expansion of the caliphate in the seventh and eight centuries and ending with the beginnings of European colonization. In this millennium of Islamic expansion five successive stages are distinguished, taking into account the world-historical context. Each stage will be covered by a separate volume. The present volumes covers the period of the seventh to eleventh centuries, the early medieval period in which the Islamic Middle East acquires economic supremacy while establishing new links between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean.

206. -, Al-Hind the Making of the Indo-Islamic World: The Slave Kings and the Islamic Conquest: 11Th-13th Centuries, Leiden-New York; 1990-1997
This is the second of a projected series of five volumes dealing with the expansion of Islam in al-Hind, or South and Southeast Asia. While the previous volume covered the 7th-11th centuries, this new volume deals principally with the Islamic conquest of the 11th-13th centuries. The book also provides an analysis of the newly emerging organizational forms of the Indo-Islamic state in these centuries, migration patterns which developed between the Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia, maritime developments in the Indian Ocean, and religious change. The comparative and world-historical perspective which is advanced here on the dynamic interaction between nomadic and agricultural societies should make it of interest to all historians concerned with Asia in this period.
