Descriere

Explores how the interaction of Muslim merchants with non-Muslim societies in medieval Indian Ocean ports resulted in a distinct strand of Islamic thought and practice. This trajectory of Islam, marked by cosmopolitanism, cultural exchange, and pragmatic adaptation, continues to shape how the faith is lived across much of monsoon Asia.
