Reviews
"Comprehensive, compelling, and engagingly written, Iain Walker's history is a major work and an indispensable and impressive contribution to the scarce scholarly literature in English on the Comoros."-- Michael Lambek, Professor of Anthropology, University of Toronto and author of Island in the Stream: An Ethnographic History of Mayott "This detailed and authoritative history of the Comoros is long overdue. At last, with their richly documented past and their numerous traditional histories, these islands can be better understood as lying at the very centre of the maritime economy and culture of the western Indian Ocean."--Malyn Newitt, author of A Short History of Mozambique "A much-needed and wide-ranging study of the complex history of the Comoros. Walker reveals how these islands of luxuriant jungles and the fragrance of ylang ylang became the site for violent contention, and offers a comprehensive case study of the long-term legacies of colonialism.'"--Robert Aldrich, Professor of European History, University of Sydney "It is a particular strength of Iain Walker's deeply researched history of the Comoros that he both locates the islands in their wider regional and global contexts and deftly explains their very complex social system."--Edward Alpers, Research Professor of History, UCLA, and author of The Indian Ocean in World History, "Comprehensive, compelling, and engagingly written, Iain Walker's history is a major work and an indispensable and impressive contribution to the scarce scholarly literature in English on the Comoros."-- Michael Lambek, Professor of Anthropology, University of Toronto Scarborough and author of Island in the Stream: An Ethnographic History of Mayott "This detailed and authoritative history of the Comoros is long overdue.

Synopsis
Many people today have never heard of the Comoros, but these islands were once part of a prosperous regional trading economy that stretched halfway around the world. A key node in the trading networks of the Indian Ocean, the Comoros prospered by exchanging slaves and commodities with Arab and Indian merchants. By the sixteenth century, the archipelago served as an important supply point on the route from Europe to Asia. The twentieth century brought the establishment of French colonial rule and a plantation economy. Since declaring its independence in 1975, the Comoros has been blighted by more than twenty coups, a radical revolutionary government and a mercenary regime. Today, the island nation suffers chronic mismanagement and relies on remittances from a diaspora community in France. Nonetheless, the Comoros is largely peaceful and culturally vibrant - connected to the outside world in the internet age, but, at the same time, still slightly apart. Iain Walker traces the history and unique culture of these enigmatic islands, from their first settlement by Africans, Arabs and Austronesians, through their heyday within the greater Swahili world, to their decline as a forgotten outpost of the French colonial empire., Many people today have never heard of the Comoros, but these islands were once part of a prosperous regional trading economy that stretched halfway around the world.
