Across the Indian Ocean, seafaring communities developed nuanced pearl-diving expertise in the centuries before European imperialism. Then, in the late nineteenth century, Western demand for pearls skyrocketed. Shallow Blue Empire explores the tensions that emerged when local lifeways clashed with British ambitions for profit maximization.
