Alpers Edward A.. The Indian Ocean in World History. Oxford University Press,2014. — 182 p.. 2014

This book is part of the New Oxford World History, an innovative series that offers readers an informed, lively, and up-to-date his­tory of the world and its people that represents a significant change from the “old” world history. Only a few years ago, world history generally amounted to a history of the West—Europe and the United States—with small amounts of information from the rest of the world. Some versions of the “old” world history drew attention to every part of the world except Europe and the United States. Readers of that kind of world history could get the impression that somehow the rest of the world was made up of exotic people who had strange customs and spoke difficult languages. Still another kind of “old” world history pre­sented the story of areas or peoples of the world by focusing primarily on the achievements of great civilizations. One learned of great build­ings, influential world religions, and mighty rulers but little of ordinary people or more general economic and social patterns.
