Opis

This book focuses on the Komagata Maru episode of 1914. The author isolates juridical procedures, tactics and apparatus of security through which the British Empire exercised power on imperial subjects by investigating the significance of this incident to colonial and postcolonial migration.

Recenzje

Anjali Gera Roy has produced an in-depth scholarly case-study of complex interconnections between Sikh migrations and British Imperial policies during 19th and early 20th centuries -- the regulatory and exclusionary mechanisms, contending claims and political resistance. It is a significant contribution to interrogation of issues related to international migrations in the age of globalisation and resurgent xenophobia.
