Sinopse

Swahili Coast Exchange explores the vibrant history of the Swahili Coast, highlighting its pivotal role in maritime trade and cultural exchange within the Indian Ocean world. It unveils how the Swahili city-states, located in East Africa, actively shaped their destiny by strategically leveraging their unique cultural assets. The book details the fascinating blend of African, Islamic, and Asian influences that fostered a thriving society, challenging Eurocentric views that often overlook African contributions to global exchange.

 
The book examines how Swahili architecture, characterized by unique designs reflecting wealth and cultural identity, and the evolution of the Swahili language, a Bantu language enriched by Arabic, were central to the region's success. It also traces the intricate maritime trade networks that connected the Swahili Coast to distant shores, facilitating the exchange of goods and ideas.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with the historical and cultural context, followed by in-depth explorations of architecture, language, and trade, supported by diverse evidence ranging from archaeological findings to linguistic studies.
