Abstract

This global environmental history of Santalum album (L) examines the origins of the use of Indian or white sandalwood in Ayurvedic medicine, Hinduism and Buddhism, and Asian regional and inter-regional trade from roughly 3000 BCE to 2020. It further traces how Indian Sandalwood’s indigenous sources in southern India and Kepulauan Nusa Tenggara (Lesser Sundas) converged as a market that fed demand across Asia, particularly to China, as an export commodity. It reflects on how colonialism and imperialism impacted sandalwood species and had a globalizing effect on Asia, the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
