Oriental Networks explores forms of interconnectedness between Western and Eastern hemispheres during the long eighteenth century. Contributors discuss relationships between individuals and institutions as precursors to modern networks as they facilitated the exchange of cultural commodities (plants, animals, and artifacts), practices, and ideas. Highlighting ambiguities and unexpected outcomes of networking, the volume adds historical perspective to our understanding of globalization.
