Muslim Society and the Western Indian Ocean: The Seafarers of Kachchh


Add your own review!

Overview

Based on substantial ethnographic research and further textual and archival research, this interesting book offers a new perspective on the anthropology of the western Indian Ocean region. Written in a clear, engaging style and covering an impressive breadth of theoretical knowledge, Simpson explores the social migration (kinship and patron-client relations) through which causes are translated into successful political and economic effects such as Islamic reform and political aspiration. Scholars of the Indian Ocean, Hindu nationalism and anthropologists in general will find this a fascinating read and a major contribution to research in this area.
