Long-distance trade across the region was facilitated by a highly complex multi-currency system undergirded by shared ideas that transcended ethno-linguistic, religious and class divisions. Currencies also occupied key roles in local spiritual, aesthetic and affective practices. Foregrounding these tensions between the global/universalistic and the local/particularistic, the volume shows how this traditional currency system remained in place until the middle of the twentieth century, and how aspects of the system continue to inform monetary practices throughout the region. With case studies covering China, India, the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, East Africa, Zanzibar, Madagascar and Mauritius from the thirteenth to the twenty-first centuries, this volume explores the central role currencies played in economic exchange as well as in establishing communal bonds, defining state power and expressing religious sentiments.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | monetary history; multi-currency system; Indian Ocean World economy; mediums of exchange; Indian Ocean W | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-20973-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-20975-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-20973-5Series ISSN 2730-9703 Series E-ISSN 2730-9711 | | issn_series | 2730-9703 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerl |
