Reviews
“This second installment of Schottenhammer's Early Global Interconnectivity across the Indian Ocean World expands beyond trade and its diaspora. Across the long stretch from the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea, or West Asia to East Asia, the plot is thickened with wide-ranging studies on the intertwining of religion, trade and state through time. Essays on the circulation of shipbuilding techniques, ceramics and medicines, whether continuous or episodic, display the surprising and forgotten wealth of exchanges that constituted the lifeblood of this pioneering stage of global interconnectivity. Both volumes lay the challenge of early globalization squarely at the doorstep of Chinese history.” (Engseng Ho, Professor of Anthropology and History, Duke University, USA)
