"Ocean of Trade offers an innovative study of trade, production and consumption across
the Indian Ocean between the years 1750 and 1850. Focusing on the Vāniyā merchants
of Diu and Daman, Pedro Machado explores the region's entangled histories of exchange,
including the African demand for large-scale textile production among weavers in Gujarat,
the distribution of ivory to consumers in Western India, and the African slave trade
in the Mozambique channel that took captives to the French islands of the Mascarenes,
Brazil and the Rio de la Plata, and the Arabian peninsula and India. In highlighting
the critical role of particular South Asian merchant networks, the book reveals how
local African and Indian consumption was central to the development of commerce across
the Indian Ocean, giving rise to a wealth of regional and global exchange in a period
commonly perceived to be increasingly dominated by European company and private capital."
