Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive yet approachable firsthand account of the political and religious landscape of the East Indies region during the 17th and 18th centuries. The author, a British mariner and merchant, chronicled his observations and experiences during nearly forty years spent traveling the seas of the East. Beginning in South Africa, the book proceeds eastward, describing the inhabitants, natural resources, and political climates of the various coastal regions the author visited. The author took great care to record both the similarities and differences between the Dutch, Indian, Ethiopian, and Arab cultures and how they interacted with each other, making the book a fascinating resource for anyone seeking to understand pre-colonial sea trade networks between Africa and Asia. This book is a must-have for scholars of history, economics, and cultural studies of that era and offers valuable information to travelers and merchants interested in the region.
