Book Synopsis
Cargoes in Motion considers both the materiality and special trajectories of cargoes across the Indian Ocean world in order to better understand the processes of exchange and their economic, social, cultural, and political effects on the region.

Trade Review
“This volume addresses an important and thus far somewhat understudied topical focus in the field of Indian Ocean studies: the material things that actually traversed the ocean as shipments facilitating and realizing trade and creating various kinds of (often long-sustained) meaningful interaction on different littorals. 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 Cargoes in Motion 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, Cargoes in Motion deserves a wide audience.”
