Description

Product Description This collection explores how South Asian migrations in modern history have shaped key aspects of globalization since the 1830s. Including original research from colonial India, Fiji, Mexico, South Africa, North America and the Middle East, the essays explore indentured labour and its legacies, law as a site of regulation and historical biography. Including recent scholarship on the legacy of issues such as consent, sovereignty and skilled/unskilled labour distinctions from the history of indentured labour migrations, this volume brings together a range of historical changes that can only be understood by studying South Asian migrants within a globalized world system. Centering south Asian migrations as a site of analysis in global history, the contributors offer a lens into the ongoing regulation of labourers after the abolition of slavery that intersect with histories in the Global North and Global South. The use of historical biography showcases experiences from below, and showcases a world history outside empire and nation. Review "The project is well-framed and compelling. The contributing authors and the editor are all up-and-coming names in their respective fields, and the involvement of Sunil Amrith and other senior scholars speaks well of the proposed volume's integrity." --Sascha Auerbach, Lecturer in Modern History, University of Nottingham, UK"promises to bring studies on Indian migration into dialogue with wider debates in global history." --Harald Fischer-Tiné, Professor of Modern Global History, ETH-Zürich, Switzerland"crucially reverses the traditional historiographic lens by highlighting the impact of South Asian migrants on processes of globalization and the development of global legal regimes." --Carolien Stolte, University Lecturer of History, Leiden University, Netherlands About the Author Neilesh Bose is Assistant Professor of History and Canada Research Chair in global and comparative history at University of Victoria, Canada.
