How did states come to monopolize control over migration? What do
the processes that produced this monopoly tell us about the modern
state? In Indian Migration and Empire Radhika Mongia provocatively
argues that the formation of colonial migration regulations was
dependent upon, accompanied by, and generative of profound changes
in normative conceptions of the modern state. Focused on state
regulation of colonial Indian migration between 1834 and 1917,
Mongia illuminates the genesis of central techniques of migration
control. She shows how important elements of current migration
regimes, including the notion of state sovereignty as embodying the
authority to control migration, the distinction between free and
forced migration, the emergence of passports, the formation of
migration bureaucracies, and the incorporation of kinship relations
into migration logics, are the product of complex debates that
attended colonial migrations. By charting how state control of
migration was critical to the transformation of a world dominated
by empire-states into a world dominated by nation-states, Mongia
challenges positions that posit a stark distinction between the
colonial state and the modern state to trace aspects of their
entanglements.
