About The Bookwinner Of The 2024 Asian Law & Society Association Distinguished Book Awardfor More Than A Century Before World War Ii, Traders, Merchants, Financiers, And Laborers Steadily Moved Between Places On The Indian Ocean, Trading Goods, Supplying Credit, And Seeking Work. 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 Post-War 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 Materials From India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, London, And Singapore, Kalyani Ramnath Shows How Decolonization Was Ultimately 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.About The Authorkalyani Ramnath Is Assistant Professor Of History At Columbia University.
