Global South Asians

This book traces the international careers of a cohort of extraordinary Indian women leaders during the final decades of colonial rule.

Parr R: Citizens of Everywhere

Citizens of Everywhere

Indian Women, Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism, 1920–1952

Between 1837 and 1920, 1.3 million indentured labourers migrated from India to sugar plantation colonies in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean. Voices from Calcutta shows how spokesmen from Calcutta - the capital of British India - disrupted this trade and influenced the lives of these migrants. It follows Calcuttans in their journey of debating, investigating and defending indenture, unfolding a complex web of letters, petitions, interviews and investigative-reports. As the indenture debates influenced lived experience on ships and plantations, and shaped the negotiation of subjecthood and labour rights for the empire's peripatetic labourers, they became a means by which elite Calcuttans negotiated their own position within the empire. This book locates in Calcutta voices of protest that fundamentally defined the contours of post-slavery labouring across the British Empire. Instead of simply emanating from Britain, to be dutifully followed in the colonies, labour legislation was informed by voices from those very colonies.

Indian Indenture in the Age of Abolition

Voices from Calcutta

Analyses the phenomenon of western Indophilia, its ideological and affective composition, and its political implications in late-colonial British India. Argues that Indophile deployments around transnational projects like abolishing indentured labour and global Hinduism, while anti-colonial, were not necessarily emancipatory.

Indian Gurus, Western Disciples and the Politics of Indophilia, 1890–1940

Passages through India

"Based on various archival and non-archival records, oral testimonies and travel accounts, some of which are used for the first time, this book explores the historical migration of Bengalis and their diasporic experiences in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, covering a period from the mid-nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Despite the tremendous historical mobility of the Bengalis in the Malay world and their contemporary salience, as reflected in the region's more-than-a-millionstrong Bengali diaspora, their historical contribution remains almost unseen. This book addresses this lacuna by exploring the connections between Bengal and Malaya. The book further examines the formation of a Bengali social, political, economic and cultural space within the diverse South Asian diaspora during the colonial and postcolonial periods. The study contributes to the recent flourishing of mobility studies, cosmopolitanism, ethnic studies, connected histories and transnational histories in modern Asia"--

A Spatial History of a Bengali Transnational Community

In the Malay World

"The marginalization of Black Americans due to White supremacy and the oppression of Indians under British colonialism featured inescapable similarities. At the turn of the twentieth century, these parallels led Indian and Black nationalists, intellectuals, and activists to share their experiences and engage in dialogues toward improving the social status of their people. Specifically, Black internationalists such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Walter White, and Paul Robeson studied the Indian independence movement, and came to regard India as a template in the fight against White supremacy in the United States. Similarly, various Indians including Rabindranath Tagore, Lala Lajpat Rai, B.R. Ambedkar, and Taraknath Das theorized crucial parallels between race, colonialism, and caste when studying the experiences of Black Americans. This book analyzes how they came together in their desire to overthrow the structures that subjugated them"--

A Clash of Color

"Many Indians journeyed out of India to supplant the loss of slave labour in the former European plantation colonies of Mauritius, South Africa, Fiji and the Caribbean from the early nineteenth century onwards. This book aims to highlight the careers of these migrants who served as vital agents in building the global society of the twenty-first century. It explores the transformative experiences of those who migrated, and the memories of those who did not return after expiration of their contracts but chose instead to stay in their respective host countries. It describes the many challenges they faced-ageing in a society far from home, the loss of their formal Indian identity after Indian independence, their efforts to preserve a sense of community in the post-independence societies of South Africa and the Caribbean, and their adaptation to the new political and social realities they faced as minorities in the countries in which their ancestors had adventurously determined to settle and live"--

Beyond Indenture

"Passages through India offers a study of the phenomenon of Western Indophilia: romanticised engagements around Hindu ideas of India. It argues that affective practices cultivated between major Indian guru-figures (Gandhi, Tagore and Vivekananda) and their white disciples serviced a larger politics of respectability, tied to the exigencies of Indian cultural and nationalist politics. Indophile deployments in transnational projects like the abolition of indentured labour and global Hinduism, while anti-colonial, were not quite emancipatory. Such deployments - in Africa, America, Fiji and India - frequently reproduced deep hierarchies around race, class, caste and gender. Unifying distinct strands of western discipleship within a shared tradition of Indophilia, Passages through India offers a new methodological framework that situates self and subjectivity as central to processes of global mobility and migration"--

A Social History of Indian Coolie Women in British Malaya

Fleeting Agencies

"Uncivil Liberalism studies how ideas of liberty from the colonized South claimed universality in the North. Recovering the political theory of Dadabhai Naoroji, India's pre-eminent liberal, this book offers an original global history of this process by focusing on Naoroji's preoccupation with social interdependence and civil peace in an age of growing cultural diversity and economic inequality. The story of Naoroji's political theory emerges from an in-depth contextualization of the Parsi minority in western India and Naoroji's engagement with the religious, social, political and economic debate that preoccupied the Parsi public sphere in nineteenth-century Bombay. Then, using Naoroji's detailed reflections on his career as a social reformer, entrepreneur and politician in India and Britain, the book reconstructs how his formative experiences in India's smallest minority produced some of South Asia's most globally significant political thought. As a contribution to theory, the book shows how Naoroji used political economy to critique British liberalism's incapacity for civil peace by linking periods of cultural and ethnic fragmentation and communal rioting in colonial Bombay with the Parsis' economic decline, which had rendered the minority less capable of funding the philanthropy that had maintained Bombay's cosmopolitan civil society. Naoroji responded by innovating his own liberal theory predicated on an economic republicanism that could guarantee the social contract between autonomous labourers liberated from the arbitrary mediation of financial capital and parasitic bureaucracy. Significantly, the author draws attention to how Naoroji seeded 'Western' thinkers with these ideas and influenced numerous ideologies in colonial and postcolonial India. In so doing, the book offers a compelling argument which reframes Indian 'nationalists' as global thinkers"--

A queer scrapbook offers a treasure trove of LGBTIQ+ histories from across Britain and Ireland. Packed with materials, from interviews and newspaper articles to photographs and flyers, the book explores urban, rural and regional queer life since 1945. Commentaries and short essays introduce a changing queer landscape, spotlighting four broad themes: home and family, sex and socialising, arts and culture and politics and activism. The book delves into the meaning and experiences of domesticity and parenting and explores the sometimes unexpected places LGBTIQ+ people met to have fun. It examines the importance of creative work in forming community and identity and shows how people fought injustice and advocated for equal rights. Collecting has been a way for the marginalised to explore and assert identity and community. A queer scrapbook vividly illustrates the diversity of queer and trans lives across the British and Irish isles since the Second World War.

Britain and Ireland Since 1945

A Queer Scrapbook

For fans of Ben Macintyre, the gripping story of the assassination of Soviet revolutionary Leon Trotsky and the deadly game of cat and mouse that preceded it On August 20, 1940, Leon Trotsky invited a man he knew only as Jacques Mornard into his study. Mornard waited for Trotsky to sit, then smashed an ice pick he had hidden in his raincoat into his skull. &nbsp; For over a decade, Trotsky’s greatest enemy, Joseph Stalin, had been trying to arrange his murder. His agents had hunted him across Europe and into a lonely, bitter exile in Mexico. He had liquidated Trotsky’s family and friends, and yet Trotsky had always escaped his clutches. The man who changed this all was Ramón Mercader, a minor Spanish aristocrat and Soviet agent who had posed as Mornard, a dissolute Belgian playboy, and infiltrated Trotsky’s inner circle.&nbsp; In The Death of Trotsky, Josh Ireland traces the separate paths walked by each of these protagonists as they steadily draw closer and closer to that fateful encounter on August 20. Blending intimate historical detail and thrilling historical narrative, swinging from Moscow to Paris to Mexico, and taking in a cast of morally conflicted Russian spies, fanatical Mexican painters, and innocent American idealists, The Death of Trotsky delves into the lives of two fascinating, complex men locked in a life-or-death struggle that will bend the course of history.
