Waves Across the South: A New History of Revolution and Empire Book Information:

STED FOR THE CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE 2021Helps re-centre how we look at the world PETER FRANKOPANGlobal history at its finest SUNIL AMRITHA master class OLIVETTE OTELE'Fascinating' FINANCIAL TIMESStarting from the ocean and from the forgotten histories of ocean-facing communities, this is a new history of the making of our world.After revolutions in America and France, a wave of tumult coursed the globe from 1790 to 1850. It was a moment of unprecedented change and violence especially for indigenous peoples. By 1850 vibrant public debate between colonised communities had exploded in port cities. Yet in the midst of all of this, Britain struck out by sea and established its supremacy over the Indian and Pacific Oceans, overtaking the French and Dutch as well as other rivals.Cambridge historian Sujit Sivasundaram brings together his work in far-flung archives across the world and the best new academic research in this remarkably creative book. Too often, history is told from the northern hemisphere, with modernity, knowledge, selfhood and politics moving from Europe to influence the rest of the world. This book traces the origins of our times from the perspective of indigenous and non-European people in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.This is a compulsive story full of cultural depth and range, a world history that speaks to urgent concerns today. The book weaves a bracingly fresh account of the origins of the British empire.
