His current book, <em>A Sea of Debt: Law and Economic Life in the Western Indian Ocean, 1780-1940</em> (Cambridge University Press, 2017) is a legal history of economic life in the Western Indian Ocean, told through the story of the Arab and Indian settlement and commercialization of East Africa during the nineteenth century.
