This innovative, multidisciplinary exploration of the unique
history of the Andaman Islands as a hunter-gatherer society,
colonial penal colony, and state-engineered space of settlement and
development ranges across the theoretical, conceptual and thematic
concerns of history, anthropology and historical geography.
Covering the entire period of post-settlement Andamans history,
from the first (failed) British occupation of the Islands in the
1790s up to the year 2012, the authors examine imperial histories
of expansion and colonization, decolonization, anti-colonialism and
nationalism, Japanese occupation, independence and partition,
migration, commemoration and contemporary issues of Indigenous
welfare. New Histories of the Andaman Islands offers a new way of
thinking about the history of South Asia, and will be
thought-provoking reading for scholars of settler colonial
societies in other contexts, as well as those engaged in studies of
nationalism and postcolonial state formation, ecology, visual
cultures and the politics of representation.
