Subaltern Lives uses biographical fragments of the lives of
convicts, captives, sailors, slaves, indentured labourers and
indigenous peoples to build a fascinating new picture of colonial
life in the nineteenth-century Indian Ocean. Moving between India,
Africa, Mauritius, Burma, Singapore, Ceylon, the Andaman Islands
and the Australian colonies, Clare Anderson offers fresh readings
of the nature and significance of 'networked' Empire. She reveals
the importance of penal transportation for colonial expansion and
sheds new light on convict experiences of penal settlements and
colonies, as well as the relationship between convictism,
punishment and colonial labour regimes. The book also explores the
nature of colonial society during this period and embeds subaltern
biographies into key events like the abolition of slavery, the
Anglo-Sikh Wars and the Indian Revolt of 1857. This is an important
new perspective on British colonialism which also opens up new
possibilities for the writing of history itself.
