Nicholas Nugent, former BBC broadcaster and author of a new book <b>‘Spice Ports: Mapping the Origins of Global Sea Trade’</b>, is in conversation with broadcaster and author Andrew Whitehead on <b>MY BOOK</b> podcast, produced by Cine Ink in London. ‘Spice Ports’ has just been published in September, 2024, by the British Library in London. <br /><br />Discussing his book Nugent says: <i><b>“It’s an account of how the trade of spices led to the modern-day globalisation and maritime communication which brought benefits apart from culinary delights: the spread of ideas on art, literature and science”</b></i>. But he adds, <i><b>“There's a darker side to this history, in that each of the European nations who were engaged in the trade then attempted to maximise their profits, first by enslaving local people, and later by transporting labourers between continents to work as slaves.”</b></i><br /><br />This wide-ranging account of a fascinating period of global history uses original maps and contemporary artists’ views to tell the story of how each port developed individually; while encouraging us to consider contrasting points of view of the benefits and the damages of the maritime spice trade. <br /><br />Nick has more than 40 years’ experience researching and reporting for BBC World Service. He is the author of a biography of India’s former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, published by BBC Books. He has also authored books on Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Vietnam.<br /><br /><b>Andrew Whitehead,</b> a PhD in the contemporary history of Kashmir, is a veteran broadcast journalist of the BBC and has reported extensively from India. Currently, he is an honorary professor at the Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies at the University of Nottingham.
