Canadian officials, calling on legislative acts designed to limit the immigration of Indians, detained the ship for two months in Vancouver Harbour. Most of the 376 passengers were then forcibly returned to India. \u003cem\u003eUnmooring the Komagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e challenges conventional Canadian historical accounts by drawing from multiple disciplines and fields to consider the international and colonial dimensions of the voyage. By situating the history of South Asians in Canada in a global-imperial context, this volume emphasizes the ways in which the \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e incident is related to issues of colonialism more generally. The contributors offer a critical reading of Canadian multiculturalism through past events and their commemoration. Ultimately, they caution against narratives that present the ship's journey as a dark moment in the history of a redeemed nation. \u003cem\u003eUnmooring the Komagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates that, a hundred years later, the voyage of the \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e has yet to reach its conclusion.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Itinerant Subjects of Empire: Unmooring the \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e \/\u003cem\u003e Davina Bhandar and Rita Kaur Dhamoon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: The Politics of Anti-Colonial Resistance in the Journey of the \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Right to the Empire?: British Imperial Citizenship before the First World War \/ \u003cem\u003eIan Christopher Fletcher\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 The Last Stretch of the Journey: The \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru,\u003c\/em\u003e War-Time Political Radicalism, and Migrant Workers from Punjab in Calcutta \/ \u003cem\u003eSuchetana Chattopadhyay\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Resistance Struggles: Facing Lies, Deception, and Racism \/ \u003cem\u003eSatwinder Kaur Bains\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: Migration Regimes in Colonial Contexts\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 The \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e as Event: Legal Transformations in Migration Regimes \/ \u003cem\u003eRadhika Mongia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Borders, Boats, and Brown Bodies: Reading Tamil \"Irregular Arrivals\" through the History of the \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e \/ \u003cem\u003eNadia Hasan, Sailaja Krishnamurti, Omme-Salma Rahemtullah, Nayani Thiyagarajah, and Nishant Upadhyay\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Temporary Arrivals: The \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e Passengers and Migrant Labour \/ \u003cem\u003eDavina Bhandar\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3: Colonial Temporalities of Memory and Cultural Production\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 The \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e Incident as Described in Two Japanese Works \/ \u003cem\u003eKaori Mizukami\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 (Mis)Representing the \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e in Indian Print Cultures \/ \u003cem\u003eIrina Spector-Marks\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 The Time and Sound of the Nautical Border \/ \u003cem\u003eAyesha Hameed\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 4: Disrupting Colonial Formations of Nation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 When Home and Harem Collide: The \"Hindu Women's Question\": A Mass Spectacle of the Canadian Nation, Family, and Modernity \/ \u003cem\u003eEnakshi Dua\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 The \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e Recontextualized: Memory, History, and Diasporic Sikh Subnationalism in Anita Rau Badami's \u003cem\u003eCan You Hear the Nightbird Call?\u003c\/em\u003e \/ \u003cem\u003eRajender Kaur\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 Past Wrongs and a New National Imaginary: Remembering the \u003cem\u003eKomagata Maru\u003c\/em\u003e Incident \/ \u003cem\u003eAlia Somani\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13 The Politics of Empire: Minor History on a Global Scale \/ \u003cem\u003eRenisa Mawani\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14 Poems: Still Chanting Denied Shores \/ \u003cem\u003eTariq Malik\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppendix 1: Historical Figures cited in the Chapters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppendix 2: BC Government Apology, May 23, 2008\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppendix 3: Canadian Government Apology, May 18, 2016\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors; Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531072434456,"sku":"9780774860666","price":25.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/unmooring-the-komagata-maru-charting-colonial-trajectories-paperback-softback-9780774860666","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
