This original collection brings islands to the fore in a growing body of scholarship on the Indian Ocean examining them as hubs or points of convergence and divergence in a world of maritime movements and exchanges. Straddling history and anthropology and grounded in the framework of connectivity the book tackles central themes such as smallness translocality and the island factor. It moves to the farthest reaches of the region with a rich variety of case studies on the Swahili-Comorian world the Maldives Indonesia and more. With remarkable breadth and cohesion these essays capture the circulations of people goods rituals sociocultural practices and ideas that constitute the Indian Ocean world. Together they take up islandness as an explicit empirical and methodological issue as few have done before.
