Inland from Mombasa

- Default Title
Description
"Inland from Mombasa is exemplary scholarship that reframes the Indian Ocean world by showing how African communities that were key providers of trade goods shaped it even as they rejected many of the cosmopolitan practices previously understood to bind it together. By reconstructing the deep history of Mijikenda societies, David Bresnahan demonstrates how the decisions they made about their own lives affected power relations across the Arabian Sea and beyond."--Rhiannon Stephens, author of Poverty and Wealth in East Africa: A Conceptual History

"An enlightening, urgent, and refreshing intervention. This book provides a critically important perspective on Mombasa from its surrounding communities and, in the process, a genre-defining reconceptualization of the essential role of inland societies that chose not to be centralized in the process of globalization and trade across the Indian Ocean."--Bettina Ng'weno, Associate Professor of African American and African Studies, University of California, Davis
