Abstract:
This volume offers an alternative way of conceiving the history of Britain by excavating and exploring the numerous ways in which South Asians in Britain engaged in radical discourse and political activism from 1858 to 1947, before their more permanent migration and settlement.

As well as addressing resistances against empire and hierarchies of race, the authors investigate how South Asians in Britain mobilized
