a new history of revolution and empire
Summary
Too often, history is told from the northern hemisphere. In this account, Sujit Sivasundaram reassesses the era of revolutions and empire from the perspective of indigenous and seafaring people in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. This is a story about indigenous creativity, agency and resistance when confronted with unprecedented globalisation and violence. It is a tale of oceans, winds, waves and islands and beaches, and of the tragic ways in which colonisation reversed immense possibilities for liberty and humanity
