This title offers an alternative view of imperial history,
exploring the pioneering ways in which South Asians within Britain
engaged in radical discourse and political activism. This volume
offers an alternative way of conceiving the history of Britain by
excavating and exploring the numerous ways in which South Asians in
Britain engaged in radical discourse and political activism from
1870 to 1950, before their more permanent migration and settlement.
This book focuses on a tumultuous period of resistance against the
backdrop of high imperialism under the reign of Victoria in the
1870s, through the turmoil of two World Wars and Partition in 1947.
As well as addressing resistances against empire and hierarchies of
race, the authors investigate how South Asians in Britain mobilized
to campaign for women's suffrage (the Indian princess Sophia Duleep
Singh), for example, or for an international socialism (the
Communist MP Shapurji Saklatvala), thereby contributing to and
complicating notions of freedom, equality and justice. This volume
reframes these pioneers as social and political agents and
activists and shows how Britain's contemporary multicultural
society is rooted in their mobilization for equality of
citizenship.
