Abstract:This collection of essays, which were earlier presented at a conference held at the University of the Witwatersrand from 20-23 August, 2007, asks what the Indian Ocean means now. What are the links, circuits and exchanges that both unite and divide different regions? Is there an 'idea' of the Indian Ocean? How does one factor Africa into this Ocean World? Several essays examine particular interactions between Africa and Indians who have settled there. Another theme focuses on islands in the Indian Ocean as a way to understanding key themes in Indian Ocean history.
