Pour la première fois sont évoqués ici non seulement les expéditions des hommes et des marchands, mais aussi les périples des objets qui ont voyagé le long des routes terrestres et maritimes. L'ouvrage couvre plus de deux millénaires, depuis le siècle d'Hérodote jusqu'à l'arrivée des Portugais à Macao, en 1553, sans oublier le temps des croisades et le voyage de Marco Polo en Chine.

Les grandes Compagnies des Indes orientales créées entre le XVIe siècle et la fin du XVIIIe siècle pour l'exploitation des richesses de l'Asie furent amenées, du moins certaines, à se transformer en puissances territoriales. La Compagnie anglaise est à l'origine de l'empire des Indes, la Compagnie hollandaise à l'origine des Indes néerlandaises : toutes possessions coloniales qui disparurent au milieu du XXe siècle avec l'indépendance. Elles furent, pendant deux siècles ou plus, le chaînon le plus important entre l'Europe et l'Asie.

This study is the first of its kind to examine the history and organization of trans-Saharan trade in western Africa using original source material. It documents the internal dynamics of a trade network system based on a case study of 'Berber' traders from the Wād Nūn region, who specialized in outfitting camel caravans in the nineteenth century. Through an examination of contracts, correspondence, fatwas and interviews with retired caravaners, Professor Lydon shows how traders used their literacy skills in Arabic and how they had recourse to experts of Islamic law to regulate their long-distance transactions. The book also examines the strategies devised by women to participate in caravan trade. By embracing a continental approach, this study bridges the divide between West African and North African studies. The work will be of interest to historians of Africa, the Middle East, and the world and to scholars of long-distance trade, Muslim societies and Islamic law.
