Abraham's Luggage: A Social Life of Things in the Medieval Indian Ocean World - Asian Connections
Lambourn, Elizabeth A. (De Montfort University, Leicester)
A single, unique document - a list of one merchant's baggage - is the starting point used to bring to life the twelfth-century Indian Ocean. Drawing connections between material culture, foodstuffs and the construction of identity, Lambourn examines notions of home and mobility at a key moment in world history.
