The ocean has always been the harbinger of strangers to new shores.
Migrations by sea have transformed modern conceptions of mobility
and belonging, disrupting notions of how to write about movement,
memory and displaced histories. Sea Log is a memory theater of
repressive hauntings based on urban artifacts across a maritime
archive of Dutch and Portuguese colonial pillage. Colonial
incursions from the sea, and the postcolonial aftershocks of these
violent sea histories, lie largely forgotten for most formerly
colonized coastal communities around the world. Offering a feminist
log of sea journeys from the Malabar Coast of South India, through
the Atlantic to the North Sea, May Joseph writes a navigational
history of postcolonial coastal displacements. Excavating Dutch,
Portuguese, Arab, Asian and African influences along the Malabar
Coast, Joseph unearths the undertow of colonialism's ruins. In Sea
Log, the Bosphorus, the Tagus and the Amstel find coherence
alongside the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. Written in a clear
and direct style, this volume will appeal to historians of
transnational communities, as well as students and scholars of
cultural studies, anthropology of space, area studies, maritime
history and postcolonial studies.
