LA - English PP - Lincoln PB - University of Nebraska Press YR - 2014 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocn880148049 AB - "Based on three decades of fieldwork throughout the developing world, Scars of Partition is the first book to systematically evaluate the long-term implications of French and British styles of colonialism and decolonization for ordinary people throughout the so-called Third World. It pays particular attention to the contemporary legacies of artificial boundaries superimposed by Britain and France that continue to divide Indigenous peoples into separate postcolonial states. In so doing, it uniquely illustrates how the distinctive stamps of France and Britain continue to mark daily life along and behind these inherited borders in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Caribbean. Scars of Partition draws on political science, anthropology, history, and geography to examine six cases of Indigenous, indentured, and enslaved peoples partitioned by colonialism in West Africa, West Indies, South Pacific, Southeast Asia, South India, and the Indian Ocean. William F.S. Miles demonstrates that sovereign nations throughout the developing world, despite basic differences in culture, geography, and politics, still bear the underlying imprint of their colonial pasts. Disentangling and appreciating these embedded colonial legacies is critical to achieving full decolonization--particularly in their borderlands"-- CN - JV151 .M48 2014eb SN - 9780803267718 SN - 0803267711 SN - 9780803267725 SN - 080326772X SN - 9780803248328 SN - 0803248326 SN - 9780803267732 KW - Postcolonialism : English-speaking countries.
