Anotace knihy

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.
