Interesting website: The African Diaspora in the Indian Ocean World

"Over the course of nearly 20 centuries, millions of East Africans crossed the Indian Ocean and its several seas and adjoining bodies of water in their journey to distant lands, from Arabia and Iraq to India and Sri Lanka."
The New York Public Library has an online exhibit on the impact of African migrants on the Indian Ocean regions. Full of photos, illustrations, maps, essays and other resources this site is well worth exploring.
