Omschrijving
Between 1600 and 1800, the promise of fresh food attracted more than seven hundred English, French, and Dutch vessels to Madagascar. Throughout this period, European ships spent months at sea in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, but until now scholars have not fully examined how crews were fed during these long voyages.
“Jane Hooper’s groundbreaking study of Madagascar’s provisioning trade offers a fascinating new perspective on Indian Ocean exchanges, European long-distance trade, Madagascan engagement with global markets, and the transformation of the island in the early modern era.”
“This important book highlights Madagascar’s key role in the Indian Ocean’s maritime and commercial circuits as a provider of foodstuffs and provisions.”
“Jane Hooper sheds light on a crucial yet unexplored aspect of early modern globalization.”
"Feeding Globalization is an engaging introduction to the complexities of Indian Ocean trade and an important reminder of the importance of food and fresh water to global development.“
“This is a welcome addition to the Anglophone historical scholarship on Madagascar, most of which focuses on the nineteenth century. Hooper meticulously reconstructs a convincing picture of how the steady demands of European shipping and colonies for food supplies stimulated the emergence of state formation in western and eastern Madagascar.”
“Hooper has done a fine job by pushing the history of Madagascar’s economic ties with the exterior into territory not adequately explored (or explored at all) by other historians.”
Jane Hooper is an associate professor in the Department of History and Art History at George Mason University. She is the author of two Ohio University Press books: Feeding Globalization: Madagascar and the Provisioning Trade, 1600–1800 (2017) and Yankees in the Indian Ocean: American Commerce and Whaling, 1786–1860. Her scholarly interests include piracy, queens, and slave trading in the Indian Ocean.
