Consulting Afrasian texts that are literary and nonfictional, political and private, he broadens the scope of African and South Asian scholarship and inspires a more nuanced understanding of the Indian Ocean's fertile routes of exchange.Desai shows how the Indian Ocean engendered a number of syncretic identities and shaped the medieval trade routes of the Islamicate empire, the early independence movements galvanized in part by Gandhi's southern African experiences, the invention of new ethnic nationalisms, and the rise of plural, multiethnic African nations. Calling attention to lives and literatures long neglected by traditional scholars, Desai introduces rich, interdisciplinary ways of thinking not only about this specific region but also about the very nature of ethnic history and identity. Traveling from the twelfth century to today, he concludes with a look at contemporary Asian populations in East Africa and their struggle to decide how best to participate in the development and modernization of their postcolonial nations without sacrificing their political autonomy. 606 $aIndic literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNational characteristics, East Indian, in literature 606 $aEast African literature (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEast Indians$zAfrica, East 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndic literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNational characteristics, East Indian, in literature. 615 0$aEast African literature (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEast Indians 676 $a891/.1 700 $aDesai$b Gaurav Gajanan$01046214 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462995203321 996 $aCommerce with the universe$92472961 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01532nam0 22003013i 450 001 CFI0191215 005 20251003044131.0 100 $a20130827d1990 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $aita 102 $ait 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 183 1$6z01$anc$2RDAcarrier 200 1 $aDalla geografia nozionistica alla geografia scientifica applicata$ela scuola verso i problemi del territorio e della societā$eVerona, Fac. dimagistero, 1990$fa cura di R.
