This is a story of tides and coastlines, winds and waves, islands
and beaches. It is also a retelling of indigenous creativity,
agency, and resistance in the face of unprecedented globalization
and violence. Waves Across the South shifts the narrative of the
Age of Revolutions and the origins of the British Empire; it
foregrounds a vast southern zone that ranges from the Arabian Sea
and southwest Indian Ocean across to the Bay of Bengal, and onward
to the South Pacific and the Tasman Sea. As the empires of the
Dutch, French, and especially the British reached across these
regions, they faced a surge of revolutionary sentiment.
Long-standing venerable Eurasian empires, established patterns of
trade and commerce, and indigenous practice also served as a
context for this transformative era. In addition to bringing
long-ignored people and events to the fore, Sujit Sivasundaram
opens the door to new and necessary conversations about
environmental history, the consequences of historical violence, the
legacies of empire, the extraction of resources, and the indigenous
futures that Western imperialism cut short. The result is nothing
less than a bold new way of understanding our global past, one that
also helps us think afresh about our shared future.
