ADVANCE PRAISE FOR FEEDING GLOBALIZATION

“Hooper meticulously reconstructs a convincing picture of how the steady demands of European shipping and colonies for food supplies stimulated the emergence of state formation in western and eastern Madagascar.”

—Edward A. Alpers, author of The Indian Ocean in World History

“Hooper has done a fine job by pushing the history of Madagascar’s economic ties with the exterior into territory not adequately explored (or explored at all) by other historians.”

—Pier M. Larson, author of Ocean of Letters: Language and Creolization in an Indian Ocean Diaspora

“This important book highlights Madagascar’s key role in the Indian Ocean’s maritime and commercial circuits as a provider of foodstuffs and provisions. These fueled the commodity and the slave exchanges, which in turn braided a variety of historical actors together within the ocean and beyond.”

—Pedro Machado, author of Ocean of Trade: South Asian Merchants, Africa and the Indian Ocean, c. 1750–1850

“Jane Hooper sheds light on a crucial yet unexplored aspect of early modern globalization. Feeding Globalization chronicles the extent to which European shipping in the southwest Indian Ocean relied on provisions obtained in Madagascar to literally feed global trade across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans while fueling state formation and slaving on the island.”

—Kerry Ward, author of Networks of Empire: Forced Migration in the Dutch East India Company

“Jane Hooper’s groundbreaking study of Madagascar’s provisioning trade offers a fascinating new perspective on Indian Ocean exchanges, European long-distance trade, Madagascan engagement with global markets, and the transformation of the island in the early modern era.”

—Jeremy Prestholdt, author of Domesticating the World: African Consumerism and the Genealogies of Globalization
