Fahad Bishara - The Voyage of The Crooked: Writing History Across the Gulf and Indian Ocean

This talk charts out an oceanic microhistory, grounded in the voyages of the Kuwaiti dhow, The Crooked in 1924-25. It anchors itself in the nakhoda's logbook, and looks out onto a world of texts, letters, accounts, and other writings by nakhodas. Through these writings, and from The Crooked's deck, we can begin to thread together lifeworlds and histories that have been scattered along the coasts of Arabia, South Asia, and East Africa.
