The Indian Ocean inter-regional arena is a space of vital economic and strategic importance characterized by specialized flows of capital and labor, skills and services, ideas and culture. Islam in particular and religiously informed universalism in general once signified cosmopolitanism across this wide realm. This historical reality is at variance with contemporary conceptions of Islam as an illiberal religion that breeds intolerance and terrorism. The future balance of global power will be determined in large measure by policies of key actors in the Indian Ocean and the lands that abut it rather than in the Atlantic or the Pacific. The interplay of multiple and competing universalisms on the Indian Ocean rim is in urgent need of better understanding. This volume bridges the divide between sophisticated scholarly research and superficial public knowledge regarding this key web of human interactions. This book of essays brings the best academic scholarship on Islam in South Asia and on the Indian Ocean rim in the age of European empire to the readers.
