PALGRAVE SERIES
IN INDIAN OCEAN
WORLD STUDIES
CONNECTIVITY
IN MOTION
Island Hubs in the
Indian Ocean World
Edited by Burkhard Schnepel
and Edward A. Alpers
Palgrave Series in Indian Ocean World Studies
Series Editor

This is the first scholarly series devoted to the study of the Indian Ocean
world from early times to the present day. Encouraging interdisciplinar-
ity, it incorporates and contributes to key debates in a number of areas
including history, environmental studies, anthropology, sociology, politi-
cal science, geography, economics, law, and labor and gender studies.
Because it breaks from the restrictions imposed by country/regional
studies and Eurocentric periodization, the series provides new frame-
works through which to interpret past events, and new insights for pre-
sent-day policymakers in key areas from labor relations and migration to
diplomacy and trade.

Prologue
With one exception, the chapters in this collection were first presented at
the international conference on “The Art of Hubbing: The Role of Small
Islands in Indian Ocean Connectivity,” held on October 15–17, 2015
at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Halle, Germany.
The conference was the second such gathering organized by Burkhard
Schnepel as part of the Max Planck Fellow Group on “Connectivity in
Motion: Port Cities of the Indian Ocean,” of which he is the Director. 1
The exchanges at the conference were lively and substantive, as have
been those between the two editors and the individual contributors to
this volume. One consequence of these exchanges is that the title of
the book has been changed from that of the conference. Thus, while
we have not abandoned the notion of “hubs”—highly frequented and
energized nodes along the routes taken by transmaritime movements—
as an important conceptual frame for studying and understanding
Indian Ocean islands, we agree that “connectivity in motion” is a more
critical analytical tool than “the art of hubbing.” Accordingly, the con-
tributions in our collection focus primarily on different elements of con-
nectivity, mobility, and hubs as they relate to both broad methodological
approaches and specific regionally and historically framed case studies.
One other significant change is the decision to drop “small” from our
definition of the islands studied here. Smallness is, after all, a relative
matter of comparison, though, as some authors in this volume argue,
at some point size also matters in an absolute sense, especially when it
becomes miniscule, as is the case with some of the islets discussed in the
xvii
xviii Prologue
volume. In any case, there are no papers on the really big islands in the
Indian Ocean—such as Madagascar, Sumatra, and Java—so the focus of
the chapters is mainly on relatively small islands.
The contributors bring a range of methodological approaches and
tools to their chapters, which, taken together, reveal the rich possibilities
for studying islands in the Indian Ocean World (IOW). Most contribu-
tors have been trained as either social anthropologists or historians, but
virtually all of them straddle these methodologies in one way or another.
Similarly, although we have organized the contents into two broad parts,
namely “Themes” and “Case Studies” (the latter with what we hope are
four appropriate regional subheadings), virtually all the authors make
good use of a variety of approaches and bring a wide range of evidence
and methodological perspectives into play. In particular, in the context
of our connectivity in motion-focus, all our authors also look beyond the
limited geographical frame of the islands or archipelagos they are study-
ing to discuss the many movements and links of even the remotest island
to other places in the Indian Ocean World.
We draw several main conclusions from this collaborative effort. First,
the literature and the common imaginaries that emphasize isolation as a
factor notwithstanding, there is compelling evidence in these contribu-
tions that many if not most islands do indeed connect, no matter how
small and remote they are. Second, even when one describes the char-
acter of island connectivity as a form of network, the actual connections
involved are much more complex, nuanced, and historically change-
able than a rigorous application of network theory might imply. Third,
the concept of “connectivity in motion” is central to the ideas that run
through the entire volume, whether we are speaking of the movement
of people, flora and fauna, things, political systems, languages, rituals,
forms of art, beliefs, or ideas. Last, the interplay between ethnographic
and historical approaches is especially rewarding in the former’s ability
to engage directly with islanders whose lives are usually as messy, cos-
mopolitan, multifaceted, and mobile as are those of the contributors
themselves, as well as in the latter’s ability to add historical depth to any
observations of contemporary life.
This volume, then, is a contribution to the ever-growing and devel-
oping scientific literature and research concerned with transmaritime
exchanges across the Indian Ocean World and with the various kinds of
connectivities that are created through these movements and exchanges.
Prologue xix
One important dimension that quite naturally stands to the fore of many
of these investigations is constituted by the very places and agents that
function as the entry and exit points of such movements. Among these
are, of course, the various port cities of the Indian Ocean World, with
all their innumerable variations in size, function, character, and other
respects. Such a focus on ports and port cities constitutes precisely the
point at which the present volume is located, though it specifically con-
centrates on hubs that are located on islands. This focus on “island
hubs” makes the volume special, given the fact that, even though islands
have not, of course, escaped scholarly attention so far, “islandness” has
seldom been turned into an explicit empirical and methodological issue,
as the authors assembled here have sought to do.
To provide a short overview of the chapters that follow, the “Themes”
section contains contributions by Burkhard Schnepel, Edward A. Alpers,
Andre Gingrich, and Godfrey Baldacchino. It is worth noting that three
of these scholars were trained in anthropology and/or sociology, while
Alpers was trained in history. Schnepel’s paper reflects his deep thinking
about the issues around which the Max Planck Fellow Group is organ-
ized. As an introduction to the themes of this volume, his contribu-
tion reflects the input of many voices and has served as a touchstone for
individual contributions. Specifically, Schnepel builds on Alpers’ idea of
the significance of “the island factor” in the Indian Ocean by pointing
out the centrality of islands in the history of maritime movements and
exchanges in the Indian Ocean World, suggesting that they have served
as critical hubs in the circulation of people, things, and ideas. He also
argues for the relevance of the concept of “islandness” to both the his-
torical and contemporary practice of islanders and to island imaginaries.
We believe that this introduction provides a thread of intellectual coher-
ence throughout the volume. Of course, not all contributors agree with
everything that Schnepel has to say in this major intervention, or specifi-
cally refer to his chapter, but even differences with him demonstrate the
significance of his ideas.
Alpers takes up the central themes of the volume by testing the ideas
of connectivity, smallness, translocality, and the unique situation of
islands against case studies of the Comoro and Mascarene Islands. His
chapter thus both enters into an intellectual exchange with Schnepel’s
introductory chapter and anticipates other chapters in the volume.
Gingrich brings a critical perspective to the central themes of the Max
Planck Fellow Group Program by exploring both the terminology of
