Description

How did thousands of Indians who migrated to the Pacific Coast of North The usa all through the early twentieth century come to forge an anticolonial movement that British authorities claimed nearly toppled their rule in India all through 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 The usa to colonial subjugation at home. In the process, they developed an international anticolonial consciousness that boldly confronted the British and American empires. Hoping to change into crucial symbol for those battling against racial oppression and colonial subjugation internationally, 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 upward push of Indian anticolonialism and state repression in North The usa and demonstrates how Indian anticolonialists served as catalysts for the implementation of restrictive U.S. immigration and antiradical laws in addition to the expansion of state power in early twentieth century India and The usa. Indian migrants came to keep in mind their struggles against racial exclusion and political repression in North The usa as a part of a broader movement against white supremacy and colonialism and articulated radical visions of anticolonialism that known as not only for the end of British rule in India but the forging of democracies internationally.
