  • Mapping the Chinese and Islamic Worlds
    Mapping the Chinese and Islamic Worlds Long before Vasco da Gama rounded the Cape of Good Hope en route to India, the peoples of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia engaged in vigorous cross-cultural exchanges across the Indian Ocean. This book focuses on the years 700 to 1500, a period when powerful dynasties governed both the Islamic and Chinese regions, to document the rela- tionship between the two worlds before the arrival of the Europeans. Through a close analysis of the maps, geographic accounts, and trav- elogues compiled by both Chinese and Islamic writers, the book traces the development of major contacts between people in China and the Islamic world and explores their interactions on matters as varied as diplomacy, commerce, mutual understanding, world geography, nav- igation, shipbuilding, and scientii c exploration. When the Mongols ruled both China and Iran in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, their geographic understanding of each other’s society increased mark- edly. This rich, engaging, and pioneering study offers glimpses into the worlds of Asian geographers and mapmakers, whose accumulated wis- dom underpinned the celebrated voyages of European explorers like Vasco da Gama. Hyunhee Park is an assistant professor of history at CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City, where she teaches Chinese history, global history, and justice in the non-Western tradi- tion. She currently serves as an assistant editor of the academic journal Crossroads – Studies on the History of Exchange Relations in the East Asian World .
