This all changed with the war and as India, Burma, Ceylon, and Malaya wrested independence from the British empire. Set against the tumult of the postwar period, Boats in a Storm centers on the legal struggles of migrants to retain their traditional rhythms and patterns of life, illustrating how they experienced citizenship and decolonization. Even as nascent citizenship regimes and divergent political trajectories of decolonization papered over migrations between South and Southeast Asia, migrants continued to recount cross-border histories in encounters with the law. These accounts, often obscured by national and international political developments, unsettle the notion that static national identities and loyalties had emerged, fully formed and unblemished by migrant pasts, in the aftermath of empires. Drawing on archival research conducted in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, London, and Singapore, Kalyani Ramnath narrates how former migrants battled legal requirements to revive prewar circulations of credit, capital, and labor, in a postwar context of rising ethno-nationalisms that accused migrants of stealing jobs and hoarding land. Ultimately, Ramnath shows how decolonization was marked not only by shipwrecked empires and nation-states assembled and ordered from the debris of imperial collapse, but also by these forgotten stories of wartime displacements, their unintended consequences, and long afterlives"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a 1942 -- Banana money -- Tax receipts -- Application forms -- Women who wait -- Red flags -- 1962 -- Conclusion : an uneasy calm. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Citizenship $z South Asia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Citizenship $z Southeast Asia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Noncitizens $z South Asia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Noncitizens $z Southeast Asia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Decolonization $z South Asia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Decolonization $z Southeast Asia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration law $z South Asia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration law $z Southeast Asia $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Citizenship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861909 650 7 $a Decolonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00889115 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908736 650 7 $a Noncitizens. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805278 651 7 $a South Asia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244520 651 7 $a Southeast Asia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240499 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ramnath, Kalyani. $t Boats in a storm. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2023 $z 9781503636101 $w (DLC) 2022051127 830 0 $a South Asia in motion. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014635.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F1A8270056B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
