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. Without sustenance from Madagascar, European traders would have struggled to transport silver to Asia and spices back to Europe. Colonies in Mozambique, Mauritius, and at the Cape relied upon frequent imports from Madagascar to feed settlers and slaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eFeeding Globalization, \u003c\/i\u003e Jane Hooper draws on challenging and previously untapped sources to analyze Madagascar's role in provisioning European trading networks within and ultimately beyond the Indian Ocean. The sale of food from the island not only shaped trade routes and colonial efforts but also encouraged political centralization and the slave trade in Madagascar. Malagasy people played an essential role in supporting European global commerce, with far-reaching effects on their communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFeeding Globalization\u003c\/i\u003e reshapes our understanding of Indian Ocean and global history by insisting historians should pay attention to the role that food played in supporting other exchanges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Hooper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821422537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821422533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Jane Hooper","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086965780735,"sku":"9780821422533","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c69ed0e-eb4d-4ec0-a06f-4f2a936ef878.jpg?v=1769097526","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feeding-globalization-jane-hooper-9780821422533","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
