An international array of established and emerging scholars investigate how the roles of equines, ungulates, sub-ungulates, mollusks, and avians expand our understandings of commerce, human societies, and world systems. Focusing primarily on the period 1500-1900, they explore how animals and their products shaped the relationships between populations in the IOW and Europeans arriving by maritime routes. By elucidating this fundamental yet under-explored aspect of encounters and exchanges in the IOW, these interdisciplinary essays further our understanding of the region, the environment, and the material, political and economic history of the world Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 07, 2020) Subject Animal industry -- Indian Ocean Region -- History Animal welfare -- Indian Ocean Region Animals -- Economic aspects Animals -- Political aspects African history.
