- Based on six years’ research and writing, and on documents in Arabic, Persian, Portuguese, French, English and Ottoman, many previously unexamined and extremely difficult to read, India and the Islamic Heartlands (CUP, 2017, xvii + 337 pages) recaptures a forgotten eighteenth-century world spanning much of today's Middle East and South Asia. Its key figures engaged in trade, banking, pilgrimage, teaching, scholarship and brokerage. The book elucidates their lives in settings ranging from the family household to the polity at large. It contributes to current debates on early modern Eurasia and the transition to colonialism.
