Abstract

∵ Les mondes de l’océan Indien / Tome 1, De la formation de l’État au premier système-monde afro-eurasien ( 4 e millénaire av J-C-6 e siècle apr. J.-C. ). (Paris: Armand Colin, 2012), 624 pp., 37 maps, 27 figures in text, 40 colored plates. Les mondes de l’océan Indien/Tome 2, Les mondes de l’océan Indien: L’océan Indien, au coeur des globalisations de l’Ancien Monde ( 7 e -15 e siècles ). (Paris: Armand Colin, 2012), 799 pp., 19 maps, 25 figures in text, 56 colored plates. I begin my review of Philippe Beaujard’s magisterial two volume study: Les mondes de l’océan Indien with a sense of trepidation induced by the sheer amount of evidence Beaujard has assembled to document the ever-changing, increasingly encompassing “worlds” of the Indian Ocean. This study is heavily annotated, lavishly illustrated, and consistently and convincingly argued. Indeed, it is not an overstatement to claim that Beaujard’s massive magnum opus does for the Indian Ocean what F. Braudel did for the Mediterranean; namely, provide a macro-historical narrative rooted in material evidence to trace continuities and changes over centuries of interaction throughout the Indian Ocean and adjacent regions. Beaujard is aware of this comparison, citing Braudel
