Description

Subaltern Lives: A New Perspective on Colonialism in the Indian Ocean World, 1790-1920 Clare Anderson's Subaltern Lives offers a fresh and fascinating look at colonial life in the nineteenth-century Indian Ocean. By exploring the lives of convicts, captives, sailors, slaves, indentured labourers, and indigenous peoples, Anderson sheds new light on the nature and significance of 'networked' Empire. Anderson's book moves between India, Africa, Mauritius, Burma, Singapore, Ceylon, the Andaman Islands, and the Australian colonies, revealing the importance of penal transportation for colonial expansion. She also examines convict experiences in penal settlements and colonies, as well as the relationship between convictism, punishment, and colonial labour regimes. This book provides an important new perspective on British colonialism, opening up new possibilities for writing history itself.
