The result is a unique and stimulating selection of carefully worked case studies, which together make a significant contribution to the growing field of Indian Ocean studies. Burkhard Schnepel and Julia Verne’s \u003ci\u003eCargoes in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e is a wide-ranging, thought-provoking, and timely addition to Indian Ocean studies. Contributors to the volume employ diverse approaches to material exchanges, including new lines of inquiry and the critical reconsideration of well-known objects of exchange. An innovative collection that makes important conceptual and empirical contributions to multiple fields, \u003ci\u003eCargoes in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e deserves a wide audience.” \u003ci\u003eCargoes in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely and valuable book to researchers in the field of Indian Ocean studies. The in-depth engagement with which authors handle their respective topics makes this book invaluable for experts, and its clarity and neat outline invites non-specialists as well. What stands out is the interdisciplinary focus on cargo, which makes this a great read for researchers from varied disciplines. - Jacky Kosgei (African Studies Quarterly)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn innovative collection of essays that foregrounds specific cargoes as a means to understand connectivity and mobility across the Indian Ocean world.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Scholars have long appreciated the centrality of trade and commerce in understanding the connectivity and mobility that underpin human experience in the Indian Ocean region. But studies of merchant and commercial activities have paid little attention to the role that cargoes have played in connecting the disparate parts of this vast oceanic world. Drawing from the work of anthropologists, geographers, and historians, \u003ci\u003eCargoes in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of how material objects have informed and continue to shape processes of exchange across the Indian Ocean.\u003cbr\u003e By following selected cargoes through both space and time, this book makes an important and innovative contribution to Indian Ocean studies. The multidisciplinary approach deepens our understanding of the nature and dynamics of the Indian Ocean world by showing how transoceanic connectivity has been driven not only by economic, social, cultural, and political factors but also by the materiality of the objects themselves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Essays by:\u003cbr\u003e Edward A.
