An instant masterpiece of Indian Ocean history, such a sophisticated and passionately detailed metacommentary of the voyage and ruznamah of a dhow in 1924. A pluritemporal-microhistorical-economic-political-sensorial reconstruction that is almost embarrassing to review.

for all the critiques many have of edward said's "orientalism" basically all of them are addressed in "culture and imperialism" his better (+ politically relevant) book imo. Although his takedowns of bernard lewis are v important and good.
