Description
The Indian Ocean as a site for studying global connections and cultural interactions is explored in this special issue. Contributors examine how European imperial expansion has shaped diasporic movements, identities, and cultural exchanges across the region. These circularities of capital, labor, and culture bring together Indian Ocean Studies with efforts to globalize literary historiography. The result is a nuanced understanding of the complex networks that connect places and peoples across the Indian Ocean. By exploring these connections, this special issue sheds new light on the ways in which literature reflects and shapes our understanding of the world.
