Belonging across the Bay of Bengal: Religious Rites, Colonial Migrations, National Rights

Michael Laffan, "Belonging across the Bay of Bengal: Religious Rites, Colonial Migrations, National Rights"
English | ISBN: 1350022616 | 2017 | 272 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 4 MB

Belonging across the Bay of Bengal discusses themes connecting the regions bordering the Bay of Bengal, mainly covering the period from the mid-19th through the mid-20th centuries – a crucial period of transition from colonialism to independence. Focusing on the notion of 'belonging', the chapters in this collection highlight themes of ethnicity, religion, culture and the emergence of nationalist politics and state policies as they relate to the movement of peoples in the region.

While the Indian Ocean has been of interest to scholars for decades, there has been a notable tilt towards historicizing the Western half of that space, often prioritizing Islamic trade as the key connective glue prior to the rise of Western power and the later emergence of transnational Indian nationalism.
