How did thousands of Indians who migrated to the Pacific Coast of
North America during the early twentieth century come to forge an
anticolonial movement that British authorities claimed nearly
toppled their rule in India during the First World War? Seema Sohi
traces how Indian labor migrants, students, and intellectual
activists who journeyed across the globe seeking to escape the
exploitative and politically repressive policies of the British
Raj, linked restrictive immigration policies and political
repression in North America to colonial subjugation at home. In the
process, they developed an international anticolonial consciousness
that boldly confronted the British and American empires. Hoping to
become an important symbol for those battling against racial
oppression and colonial subjugation across the world, Indian
anticolonialists also provoked a global inter-imperial
collaboration between U.S. and British officials to repress
anticolonial revolt. They symbolized the hope of the world's
racialized subjects and the fears of those who worried about the
global disorder they could portend. Echoes of Mutiny provides an
in-depth and transnational look at the deeply intertwined
relationship between anti-Asian racism, Indian anticolonialism, and
state antiradicalism in early twentieth century U.S. and global
history. Through extensive archival research, Sohi uncovers the
dialectical relationship between the rise of Indian anticolonialism
and state repression in North America and demonstrates how Indian
anticolonialists served as catalysts for the implementation of
restrictive U.S. immigration and antiradical laws as well as the
expansion of state power in early twentieth century India and
America. Indian migrants came to understand their struggles against
racial exclusion and political repression in North America as part
of a broader movement against white supremacy and colonialism and
articulated radical visions of anticolonialism that called not only
for the end of British rule in India but the forging of democracies
across the world.
