Book excerpt: Maritime Malabar: Trade, Culture and Power provides a broad overview and connected narrative of Malabar, a region whose fate has been shaped and reshaped over time by a maritime consciousness and searelated activities. This volume examines the trade and faith related networks in the Asian waters through which Malabar became firmly integrated into the larger world of the Indian Ocean. By analysing the trajectories of commodities, people and ideas between Malabar and the wider Indian Ocean world, the book presents a nuanced and layered picture of the various historical processes of pre-modern Malabar vis-à-vis its various enclaves and spaces of power. Rich in empirical data, the book delves into the multiple facets and strands of the societal processes of Kerala by scrutinizing the trade as well as the urbanity of the port of Muziris and the cities of Calicut and Cochin in ways conditioned by the changing perceptions of the sea and its dynamics. The maritime orientation of Malabar's economy has been studied from different perspectives by highlighting the different types of trade and also by indicating how its traders survived as well as sustained its maritime trade over centuries against overwhelming odds. The critical reading of primary sources provides congruent, contesting and alternative images of Malabar's past, opening up fresh and challenging themes for scholars and researchers interested in the maritime history of South Asia and the socio-economic history of Malabar.

Book Monsoon Islam

  • Author : Sebastian R. Prange
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2018-05-03
  • ISBN : 1108342698
  • Pages : 362 pages

Download or read book Monsoon Islam written by Sebastian R. Prange and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, a distinct form of Islamic thought and practice developed among Muslim trading communities of the Indian Ocean. Sebastian R. Prange argues that this 'Monsoon Islam' was shaped by merchants not sultans, forged by commercial imperatives rather than in battle, and defined by the reality of Muslims living within non-Muslim societies. Focusing on India's Malabar Coast, the much-fabled 'land of pepper', Prange provides a case study of how Monsoon Islam developed in response to concrete economic, socio-religious, and political challenges. Because communities of Muslim merchants across the Indian Ocean were part of shared commercial, scholarly, and political networks, developments on the Malabar Coast illustrate a broader, trans-oceanic history of the evolution of Islam across monsoon Asia. This history is told through four spaces that are examined in their physical manifestations as well as symbolic meanings: the Port, the Mosque, the Palace, and the Sea.

Book excerpt: In the second half of the seventeenth century the political and ritual relationships between the various elite houses of the kingdom of Cannanore on the Malabar Coast were affected by the shifting patterns in the Indian Ocean maritime trade.

Book The Portuguese and the Socio Cultural Changes in Kerala

Download or read book The Portuguese and the Socio Cultural Changes in Kerala written by James John and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The momentous interaction between Portugal and Kerala com­menced with the historic voyage of Vasco da Gama in 1498. It had lasting impact on the society of Kerala. The voyage, with the express purpose of searching for ‘Christians and Spices’, left longlasting imprint on the life of the people of Kerala. Though the Portuguese did not have political dominion in Kerala, the political influence they gained in Kerala precipitated a lot of socio-cultural changes. The intensity and degree of these changes were commensurate with the tenor of the Portuguese networking with the diverse socio-cultural traits in Kerala. Those sections of the Kerala society that gained a higher extent of interconnectedness with the Portuguese manifested a higher degree of socio-cultural transition. One of the most significant means for socio-cultural change that the Portuguese employed in Kerala was ecclesiastical legislation. This cultural interface between Portugal and Kerala resulted in multiple fissions and fusions in the society of Kerala. This book delves deep into the multifarious interaction between the two communities and the consequent socio-cultural changes that Kerala witnessed during 1498-1663, the period when Portuguese influence was at its acme.
