This volume offers a critical re-examination of colonial and
anti-colonial resistance imageries and practices in imperial history.
It offers a fresh critique of both pejorative and celebratory readings
of ‘insurgent peoples’, and it seeks to revitalize the study of
‘resistance’ as an analytical field in the comparative history of
Western colonialisms. It explores how to read and (de)code these
issues in archival documents – and how to conjugate documental
approaches with oral history, indigenous memories, and international
histories of empire. The topics explored include runaway slaves and
slave rebellions, mutiny and banditry, memories and practices of
guerrilla and liberation, diplomatic negotiations and cross-border
confrontations, theft, collaboration, and even the subversive effects
of nature in colonial projects of labor exploitation.
