"In Chinese and Indian Merchants in Modern Asia , the contributors put together an important and lucid study of overseas Chinese and Indian merchants and their impacts on the emerging global economy from the nineteenth to twentieth centuries. In contrast to the conventional focus on the merchants' networks per se, the chapters of this volume uncover their "networking," the process in which they constructed and utilized linkages based on the shared concepts such as caste, kin alliances, and religion.
