For centuries East Africa had an integral place within the Indian Ocean world. While slave trading, slave raiding and their consequences provide one thematic focus, this book also looks at Indian Ocean commercial networks that were more complex in the range of products exchanged, including luxury goods and staple food items, and enforced labor.

Provides pioneering studies on the nature and structure of resistance to forms of bondage in Africa, Asia and the Indian Ocean world.

The African diaspora is widely recognized as one of the world's major diasporas. This book explores topics such as: where and how Africans came to find themselves scattered across very different world regions, and the extent to which, and means whereby, they have retained their Africanicity.
