This article explores the experiences, expectations and gendered rhetoric of modernity and tradition in relation to tourism in the Spanish Sahara. By incorporating Spanish soldiers in the analytical framework of travel, the article scrutinises the close links between late colonialism, repressive modernisation and the tourist industry, opening up avenues for future research.","PeriodicalId":278323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115510970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Fleeting Agencies: A Social History of Indian Coolie Women in British Malaya by Arunima Datta (review)","authors":"Darren Wan","doi":"10.1353/cch.2022.0028","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/cch.2022.0028","url":null,"abstract":"In British Southeast Asia, the term “coolie” conventionally evokes an image of a laboring Indian or Chinese man. In Fleeting Agencies, Arunima Datta critiques this trope by vividly presenting and analyzing evidence that Tamil coolie women were not just hapless victims dependent upon the migrating men they accompanied. Rather, they were active producers and reproducers of labor on British Malaya’s rubber plantations from the first decade of the twentieth century onward, when planters and civil servants began encouraging the recruitment of coolie women to address plantations’ skewed sex ratios that alarmed colonial administrations and Indian nationalists alike (38–41). Marshalling a wide range of material, including newspapers, census data, planters’ autobiographies, government reports and transcolonial governmental correspondence, Datta uncovers coolie women’s fleeting agencies by reading these predominantly elite sources against the grain and critically examining their silences. Through this method, she models for historians of colonial Southeast Asia—for whom sources in workingclass persons’ own voices are relatively sparse—a compelling way to write social history.","PeriodicalId":278323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History","volume":"10 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116349053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This unique perspective allows for a new picture of French colonization to come into view. Rather than focusing on a specific period of the colonization process, White tracks wine production in Algeria from the onset of the French invasion until the gradual elimination of wine production in post-independence Algeria. With particular attention drawn to the economic life of the colony, this book moves from typical scholarship on Algeria that tends to focus on the failure of the French colonial project or decolonization. In fact, White argues that through wine production, French Algeria was quite successful. Furthermore, White contends that French Algeria does not fit into typical paradigms of European colonies in Asia and Africa. The typical European colony was intended to be complementary to its metropole, oftentimes being a supplier of raw materials or being a new market for manufactured goods. While Algeria fits this paradigm to an extent, its chief export was manufactured wine, which at times directly competed with French wines in the metropole.","PeriodicalId":278323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132606506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recognised for their military skills and discipline by the British in the early nineteenth century, in 1897, the Nubian soldiers serving in the British army mutinied against their British masters whom they accused of breach of a social contract made between themselves, under their leader Selim Bey, and Fredrick Lugard on behalf of the British at Kavali in the southwestern corner of Lake Albert in 1891. I use archival written materials augmented with oral histories of both the Nubian and non-Nubian participants, to provide an in-depth socio-historical account of the nineteenth-century Nubian mutiny in Uganda.","PeriodicalId":278323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114573799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

War entailed high costs, unemployment was rising and international competition, particularly from the United States, threatened Britain’s position in maritime trade. In this climate of uncertainty “many businessmen... and politicians of all persuasions... looked to the British Empire overseas for salvation.” The war had expanded Britain’s imperial dominion, and many viewed it as “a route to Britain’s long-term economic survival, to her political security in the wider world, to higher standards of living in Britain and perhaps, some hoped, to social harmony, social stability, and political quiescence at home.” For Britain, the economic support of the empire could only be realized by imperial consumers purchasing British manufactured goods, and British consumers purchasing goods from within the empire to support those protected markets. However, this increased reliance on colonial markets arose while empire as an institution was being drawn into question across Europe. Movements for national independence were successful in parts of the former Ottoman, Russian, and AustroHungarian empires, and demands for independence were being voiced by representatives from Egypt, India, China, Korea and Vietnam. Empire seemed under threat at the exact moment that many in Britain believed they needed it most.","PeriodicalId":278323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121284936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pondicherry, on the Coromandel Coast in the southeast of the peninsula, was the capital of these settlements and the seat of government. A few months after the repossession, on 24 December 1816, members of the weaver caste of the city addressed a request to Governor Dupuy. They presented him with their complaints against the Palli caste, whose members were many in Pondicherry and were mostly farmers. 2 The latter were said to have worn the effigy of the tiger and the five-coloured pavilion at their funeral ceremonies, both of which the weavers claimed as the distinctive marks and attributes of their own caste, to the exclusion of other castes. No decision seems to have been taken concerning competition for flags, but a list drawn up in 1838 by the colonial administration assigned the tiger banner to weavers only. The conflict between the two castes continued the following year over the chariot pulled by the weavers in a religious festival, ending in the attack of a weavers’ procession and the arrest of the Palli chiefs. Governor Dupuy sentenced them to remain in prison and to pay a heavy fine, which they then tried to negotiate. The archives are silent on the continuation of tensions in Pondicherry but reveal that a similar conflict took place from 1818 to 1822 in Karikal, one of the five French settlements, located about one hundred kilometres south of Pondicherry. Several requests and petitions were addressed to Governor Dupuy and Police Judge White concerning a procession performed on the occasion of an annual festival of the Karikal temple. During this procession, the god was carried and followed by nine weavers wearing the masks of the nine heroes and carrying a single wick torch and a single drum. From 1818 onwards, the weavers asked to have a torch with two wicks, then several torches. Despite vigorous opposition from the Pallis , they were granted the right to carry several torches. Tensions rose between the two castes, who continued to appeal","PeriodicalId":278323,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133714010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
