This book assesses British colonialism in South Asia in a
transnational light, with the Indian Ocean region as its ambit, and
with a focus on 'subaltern' groups and actors. It breaks new ground
by combining new strands of research on colonial history. Thinking
about colonialism in dynamic terms, the book focuses on the
movement of people of the lower orders that imperial ventures
generated. Challenging the assumed stability of colonial rule, the
social spaces featured are those that threatened the racial, class
and moral order instituted by British colonial states. By
elaborating on the colonial state's strategies to control perceived
'disorder' and the modes of resistance and subversion that
subaltern subjects used to challenge state control, a picture of
British Empire as an ultimately precarious, shifting and unruly
formation is presented, which is quite distinct from its
self-projected image as an orderly entity. Thoroughly researched
and innovative in its approach, this book will be a valuable
resource for scholars of Asian, British imperial/colonial,
transnational and international history.
