Review

'Apart from analyzing the vast corpus of works on Christian-Muslim relations between 1600 and 1700, this higly informative volume also carries the following four valuable articles: (i) Peter Riddell, 'Christian Muslim Relations in the 17th Century', (ii) B.W. Andaya, 'Islam and Christianity in South-East Asia 1600-1700', (iii) Martha Frederiks, 'Enforced Migration: An Indian Ocean Africa Narrative' and (iv) David D. Grafton, 'Enforced Migration: An Atlantic Narrative in Christian Relations'. The coverage of the material is amazingly extensive for which the editors deserve every credit'.
