Founded by South Asian immigrants in California, Ghadar—which is translated as «mutiny»—quickly became a global presence in East Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and East Africa.

The ancient city of Berenike, located approximately 500 miles south of today’s Suez Canal, was a significant port among these conduits. In this book, Steven E.

In situating the Middle East within the context of world history,...

He demonstrates how these methods allow us not only to recover the histories of time periods and places poorly served by written documentation, but also to enrich our understanding of well-documented regions and eras. A leading historian as well as historical linguist of Africa, Ehret provides in-depth...

The New Julfan Armenians were the only Eurasian community that was able to...

Rather than conducting their commerce through chartered companies based in London or Lisbon, colonial merchants in New York entered into an alliance...
