The present volume, *The Indian Ocean in the Age of Sail*, focuses on the period from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, a time when the Indian Ocean was the scene of intense maritime activity and competition between European powers and the indigenous states of the region. The essays in this volume explore various aspects of this history, from the trade in spices and textiles to the development of maritime technology and the impact of European colonialism on the region.
