Abstract An insensitive poem published in 1935 sparked a wave of outrage among the Indies Chinese students in the Netherlands. Titled The yellow peril, it had started as an inside joke among Leiden’s Indologists, yet quickly aroused the fury of both moderates and radicals. Their anti-colonial activism flared up for months, attracting numerous allies and eventually taking hold in the Netherlands Indies. After the Indologists had apologized, the number of activists willing to push for more structural change dwindled. As such, this microhistory lays bare some broader dynamics of anti-racism. We a

Abstract:
AbstractExisting accounts of ethnic mobilization have focused on the role of group size or state policy. This paper suggests that narrow identity activism was also non-linearly related to education since poorly-educated groups are unlikely to have an educated elite to participate in activism, while in very educated groups this elite existed but participated in the colonial state or anti-colonial nationalism. This theory is tested using a historical panel dataset of Indian caste groups, with petitions to the colonial census authorities being used as an index of caste activism.

AbstractThe Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) had a long tradition of anti-colonial activism since its foundation in 1920 and had been a champion of national liberation within the British Empire. However, the Party also adhered to the idea that Britain’s former colonies, once independent, would want to join a trade relationship with their former coloniser, believing that Britain required these forms of relationship to maintain supplies of food and raw materials. This position was maintained into the 1950s until challenged in 1956–1957 by the Party’s African and Caribbean membership, seiz

The scholarly discussions of photo-documentation as a human rights practice have typically regarded images as a means of making suffering public and provoking affective responses as well as remedial actions.

This article attempts to complicate our understanding of the trajectory of humanitarian photodocumentation by considering the famine photographs of WW Hooper and Sunil Janah taken during the 1870s Madras famine and the 1940

Initially seeking evacuation, area activists soon found that they were engaged in a far larger battle over the meaning of America's industrial past and its environmental future. The Love Canal protest movement inaugurated the era of grassroots environmentalism, spawning new anti-toxics laws and new models of ecological protest. Historian

Abstract:
AbstractKorea had been a Japanese colony from 1910 to 1945. Instead of becoming independent and unified, it was divided in the aftermath of World War II. The chapter describes how the American Cold War strategy of anti-communism penetrated the internal politics of South Korea, and distorted, or even prevented, like in other countries the process of decolonization, keeping the colonial apparatus in place. The historical task of reshaping the post-colonial order in East Asia was overshadowed for the US by requirements of its new hegemony and the need to rebuild the region’s capitalist economies. The systematic elimination of former independence activists, including right-wing nationalists in South Korea, by extreme anti-communists who had worked for the Japanese foretold the dominance of anti-communism in politics. The ideology of anti-communism brought South Koreans permanent surveillance, political terror, and mass killing like during colonial subjugation.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the first major test of Catholic “revolution” in the postwar world: the cause of world peace. This cause created a political space for Catholic-Marxist collaboration, first in Poland, then across the emerging Iron Curtain. In August 1948, the movement that eventually became known as the Partisans of Peace held its first meeting in Wrocław, the largest city of postwar Poland’s formerly German “Recovered Territories.” For four days, Poland welcomed a cast of global cultural and intellectual icons, from Aimé Césaire to Pablo Picasso. At that congress, Catholic socialism found its political footing. This peace activism was not only anti-nuclear, but also anti-colonial, anti-American, and anti-German. It went beyond French Catholic activist André Mandouze’s politics of “progressive Christianity,” cultivating fear of a revanchist Germany. Ethnonational hatred brought together a coalition of intellectuals who guaranteed integralism a postwar career, all while providing political cover for the Soviet Bloc’s transition to Stalinism.

Abstract:
In the early 2000s, the Internet, the blogosphere and new online medias were said to have recreated and expanded the countercultural political uprisings of the late 1960s. The radicalism of the underground press, equality, anti-war and anti-colonial movements never quite managed the translate their counter-hegemonic activism into a dynamic restructuring of politics in the West. However, academics and activists saw potential in the Internet to offer a space with which to counter the narratives of political elites, capitalism, globalisation and the domination of western corporations. In Ireland, a group of writers, led by former republican prisoners, developed an activist media space that was critical of Sinn Féin, dissidents and the dominant narratives of the Peace Process. The print magazine Fourthwrite and the online magazine The Blanket, harnessed old and new technology to provide a sustained countercultural critique of their times. That they sustained themselves for much of the 2000s without a specific political vehicle or purpose while producing some of the most compelling and inclusive writing about the times is testament to the opportunities that technology provides for committed modern activists.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on a family network and considers how the various sites of political engagement — the ‘public’ sphere, the parochial realm, and the family — functioned together in the construction of subjectivities and political experience. It examines the conceptualization of female influence, the gendered complexities of collaborative authorship, the construction of corporate family identities, the problematic position of women within the civic sphere (as compared to the parochial sphere), and the significance of gendered space for the constitution of female political subjectivity. Since the publication of Clare Midgley's acclaimed study of female anti-slavery activism, the involvement of women in the campaign to liberate slaves in Britain's colonial territories has become a firmly established feature of our understanding of nineteenth-century political culture. This chapter analyses the family network involved in one particular anti-slavery organization: the Society for the Extinction of the Slave Trade and the Civilization of Africa (African Civilization Society), whose founder and leading light, Thomas Fowell Buxton, presented the famous ladies' anti-slavery petition to parliament in 1833.

Abstract:
Digitalia or the significance of social media to everyday life and modern movements is no less significant to the case of Kudankulam. Chapter 9 therefore foregrounds digital activism by focusing on the content and reception of a public letter from British to Indian politicians on the Kudankulam issue. It was written collaboratively in May 2012 by diverse activists in Britain to highlight concerns about mandatory procedures and environmental, democratic, and human rights abuses against non-violent protestors. The letter’s reception evident in news readers’ commentaries point to another series of debates that highlight, on one end of the spectrum, colonial legacies, the stranglehold grip of nationalism and suspicions about the ‘foreign hand’; and on the other, the promise of transparency, accountability, and recompense. In its fallout, the potentials and hurdles in the way of forging a transnational anti-nuclear movement across the global south and north, the formerly colonized and colonizing, are highlighted.

Full text
Abstract:
Since his death in the 1950s, most of the narratives of Harold Laski’s anti-imperialism have been mostly biographical rather than scholarly. Chroniclers and historians alike often found his genius and contribution amongst his protégés such as Krishna Menon, H.O. Davies, and other post-colonial leaders. In addition, explorations of his political theories paid little attention to his contributions to critiques on imperialism; in fact, his critics often interpreted Laski’s stand on imperialism as unoriginal. This chapter analyses two of Laski’s works on imperialism: a 1932 chapter entitled ‘Nationalism and the Future of Civilisation’ and a 1933 chapter called ‘The Economic Foundations of Peace’. The first section of the chapter analyses his theory of sovereignty and his critique of the ideological ‘habits’ that condition liberal society. The second section contends that Laski’s theory of sovereignty resulted in his framing of imperialism within Leninist terms as a dialectical relationship between the habits of sovereignty and the habits of imperialism. The chapter suggests that Laski’s thinking on imperialism resembles less a truncated Leninism than it does a critical analysis of the way ideology can obscure domination and disciple subjects. It also reveals Laski’s contradictions due to his political activism and commitment to democracy.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter analyzes the unabashed moment of imperial pride that was the Paris Colonial Exposition of 1931. It explains how music making at the Exposition performed ideas about race. The Exposition presented challenges and possibilities for colonial subjects trying to work out where they belonged, how they belonged, and whether they wanted to belong in the French Empire. The chapter examines both the official, state-sanctioned representation of race and ethnicity at the Exposition and some critiques of it generated by anti-colonial groups. The Exposition demonstrated hierarchies of race through displays of music and dance. It asserted the value of France’s “civilizing” influence based on those representations. French colonial subjects exposed some of those representations as false and promoted their own “authentic” music and dance performances both at the Exposition and at an anti-Exposition organized by surrealist, communist, and anti-colonial activists. The chapter argues that the Colonial Exposition had such a high profile that it galvanized French men and women of color to resist misrepresentations of their cultures. It may, therefore, have had a longer-lasting effect on them than on the white metropolitan French population targeted by the Exposition.

Abstract:
Almost from its inception, the Occupy movement in America was beset by criticisms alleging that liberation could not be achieved through occupation, since the latter remained inseparable from the violent history of colonial conquest. However, American history offers concrete examples of anti-colonial struggles in which activists embraced occupation as the central means of achieving their aims. In addition to cases like the Indians of All Tribes occupation of Alcatraz (1969-71) and the occupation of Columbia University by Harlem-based Civil Rights and Black Power militants (1968), closer theoretical consideration reveals that politics itself—whether carried out in the name of conquest or of liberation—both presupposes and demands occupation. Consequently, the anti-colonial critique of the Occupy movement must be carefully re-evaluated.

Abstract:
‘Colonialisms, decolonization, decoloniality’ explains that colonization took two major forms: the first, with colonizers gradually taking over land where sovereignty was not established in a European way, or occupying a foreign state, and then administering and taxing it; the second, with the settlement of Europeans arriving with the intention of adopting the colony as their permanent home. Such ‘settler colonialism’ has had continuing effects on the indigenous peoples right up to the present day. Here, anti-colonial activists argue that decolonization begins with decolonizing oneself from the settler colonial culture. Intellectual decolonization has to form a part of political decolonization.
