Diasporas And Transnationalisms: The Journey Of The Komagata Maru

The Komagata Maru incident has become central to ongoing debates on Canadian racism, immigration, multiculturalism, citizenship and Indian nationalist resistance. The chapters in this book, by established and emerging historians and scholars in literary, cultural, religious, immigration and diaspora studies, revisit the ship's ill-fated journey to throw new light on its impact on South Asian migration and surveillance, ethnic and race relations, anticolonial and postcolonial resistance, and citizenship. This book will resonate with those interested in imperialism, migration, transnationalism, Punjab and Sikh studies. It was originally published as a special issue of South Asian Diaspora.
