Beschreibung

A fresh approach to scholarship on the diverse nature of Indian anticolonial processes. * Brings together a varied selection of literature to explore Indian anticolonialism in new ways * Offers a different perspective to geographers seeking to understand political resistance to colonialism * Addresses contemporary studies that argue nationalism was joined by other political processes, such as revolutionary and anarchist ideologies, to shape the Indian independence movement * Includes a focus on a specific anticolonial group, the "Pondicherry Gang," and investigates their significant impact which went beyond South India * Helps readers understand the diverse nature of anticolonialism, which in turn prompts thinking about the various geographies produced through anticolonial activity

Rezensionen

A.R. Venkatachalapathy, Professor of History, Madras Institute of Development Studies, India
'Theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich, Geographies of Anticolonialism takes a spatial approach to the study of anticolonialism. Through an exploration of a cluster of little-known but fascinating figures situated in the French South Indian enclave of Pondicherry - poet Subramania Bharati, nationalist mobilizer V.O. Chidambaram Pillai, international anarchist M.P.T. Acharya and spiritual nationalist Aurobindo Ghosh - Andrew Davies makes a major contribution to the study of Indian freedom struggle as well as to global anticolonial thought.'
Stephen Legg, Professor of Geography, University of Nottingham, UK
'In this wide-ranging, engagingly written and provocative historical geography of anticolonialism, Davies threads together analyses of sea networks, land hubs, politico-spiritual utopias and anarchist internationalism, which return to but are not confined within South India. Anticolonialism here broadens the scope of the de-colonial and adds ideological and material politics to the postcolonial, brilliantly contesting the territorial and epistemological boundaries of colonial geography.'
Paul Griffin, Northumbria University (Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography)
'Geographies of Anticolonialism delves into a radical culture situated within and through the South Indian coastal city of Pondicherry. The stories and individual biographies (the book is centred around a 'gang' of four key anticolonial figures) that emerge are absorbing in themselves, from the alternative shipping routes of the Swadeshi Steam Navigation Company (SSNCo) to the radical publishing networks associated with the writings of Subramania Bharati, and speak to much wider debates around resistance and spatial politics.'
