摘要

本文探讨了欧洲人在两次世界大战之间的孟买维持其作为一个独特族群的文化认同的方式,尽管他们在城市中的住所是短暂的,他们在孟买南部大部分地区的分散定居模式,以及他们在印度民族主义背景下政治主导地位的下降。这篇文章特别指出了以社交俱乐部、派对和爵士表演为中心的强烈社交活动的形成。它还强调了欧洲社团生活的作用和运动(例如,板球,狩猎,游艇和高尔夫球)对产生持续的社区意识和身份的作用。通过提出欧洲权力衰落的背景对欧洲人复制其社区的方式至关重要,本文有助于对南亚城市历史的新视角的出现,这表明历史学家必须放弃第一次世界大战后殖民城市的概念。欧洲人现在只是这个城市的一个社区,这个城市的社区正在经历着创造和再造的平行过程。

Bombay’s European Community During the Interwar Period
This essay explores the ways Europeans in interwar Bombay sustained their cultural identity as a distinct ethnic group despite the impermanent character of their residence in the city, their dispersed settlement patterns over much of southern Bombay, and the decline of their political dominance in the context of Indian nationalism. The essay particularly points to the creation of an intense sociality centered around social clubs, parties, and jazz performances. It also stresses the role of European associational life and the role of sports (for instance, cricket, hunting, yachting and golf) to the production of a continued sense of community and identity. By suggesting that the context of declining European power was critical to the ways Europeans reproduced their community, this essay contributes to the emergence of a new perspective on South Asian urban history that suggests that historians must abandon the concept of the colonial city during the post- World War I period. Europeans were now just one community in a city of communities that were undergoing parallel processes of making and remaking.
