This book demonstrates the central position of Gujarat in the historical trading economy of the Indian Ocean World. Over a period of two thousand years, Gujarati traders exchanged commodities with maritime merchants from Africa, Arabia, Southeast Asia, China, and Europe. The fifteen chapters in the book reflect this global history in sections organized under the headings of 'Historiography, Method, Sources' , 'Commodities', and 'Trading Networks andDiasporas'.
