Geographies of Anticolonialism

A fresh approach to scholarship on the diverse nature of Indian anticolonial processes.

• Brings together a varied selection of literature to explore Indian anticolonialism in new ways
• Offers a different perspective to geographers seeking to understand political resistance to colonialism
• Addresses contemporary studies that argue nationalism was joined by other political processes, such as revolutionary and anarchist ideologies, to shape the Indian independence movement
• Includes a focus on a specific anticolonial group, the 'Pondicherry Gang,' and investigates their significant impact which went beyond South India
• Helps readers understand the diverse nature of anticolonialism, which in turn prompts thinking about the various geographies produced through anticolonial activity
