It looks at the disasters that the islands have experienced in the last 200 years and analyzes major disasters since colonization by the British. Raising some critical questions, this book attempts to understand the overall profile of disasters – the facts, causes, damage, response and recovery – in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It discusses earthquakes, cyclones, tsunami and epidemics, as well as impacts of World War II, the penal colony and the post-Independence resettlement on the tribal population. The work will serve as a rich resource with its detailed tables, figures, maps and diagrams; appendices; and database ranging from travelogues, Census of India reports and fieldwork to Right to Information (RTI) petitions that collect hitherto unknown facts. The book will be useful to students of geography, disasters and disasters management, climate and environmental studies, history, sociology, island and ocean studies, and South Asian studies.
Book Synopsis New Histories of the Andaman Islands by : Clare Anderson
Download or read book New Histories of the Andaman Islands written by Clare Anderson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative, multidisciplinary exploration of the unique history of the Andaman Islands as a hunter-gatherer society, colonial penal colony, and state-engineered space of settlement and development ranges across the theoretical, conceptual and thematic concerns of history, anthropology and historical geography. Covering the entire period of post-settlement Andamans history, from the first (failed) British occupation of the Islands in the 1790s up to the year 2012, the authors examine imperial histories of expansion and colonization, decolonization, anti-colonialism and nationalism, Japanese occupation, independence and partition, migration, commemoration and contemporary issues of Indigenous welfare. New Histories of the Andaman Islands offers a new way of thinking about the history of South Asia, and will be thought-provoking reading for scholars of settler colonial societies in other contexts, as well as those engaged in studies of nationalism and postcolonial state formation, ecology, visual cultures and the politics of representation.

Book Synopsis History of Great Nicobar Island The Ascent by : Tara Singh Pabla
Download or read book History of Great Nicobar Island The Ascent written by Tara Singh Pabla and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is all about the incredible last point of India, Great Nicobar. It was the ex-servicemen from Punjab who first inhabited in the Great Nicobar Island on 23.4.1969 AD and this paved way from other states for settlement in Great Nicobar Island. Induction of ex-servicemen settlers brought life into the Great Nicobar Island. Their struggle and sacrifice in developing this island, braving the severe weather conditions and non-availability of adequate medical facilities brought Great Nicobar Island into the limelight. The dedication, struggle and sacrifice shown by all Ex-servicemen of Great Nicobar Island is beyond comparison and put Great Nicobar Island on the map of progress. This encouraged me to write about “Induction of Ex-servicemen settlers to Great Nicobar Island”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written about Second World War special forces operations in Europe and the Middle East.

These operations, and the exceptional men who took part in them, have been almost forgotten. David Miller, in this gripping account, sets the record straight. His book is based on extensive original research, including long-hidden family documents, revealing much information for the first time and his narrative is fascinating reading for anyone who is interested in special operations and the war against the Axis powers in South-East Asia. His history is the first general account of these operations - it is a landmark in the field.

But what is not known generally is that the Imperial Japanese Army, after its blitzkrieg victories in South East Asia-Singapore, Borneo, Malaya and finally, Burma, also landed in the Andamans in March 1942, and occupied them till October 1945 and they were here even after the unconditional Japanese surrender on 15th August, 1945, till the Allied army took them back.

Download or read book Global Convict Labour written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Convict Labour offers a global history of convict labour across many of the regimes of punishment that have appeared from Antiquity to the present, including transportation, prisons, workhouses and labour camps. The editors' essay surveys the available literature, and sets the theoretical basis to approach the issue. The fifteen chapters explore the genealogies of convict labour and its relationships with coloniality and governmentality. The volume re-establishes convict labour firmly within labour history, as one of the entangled, multiple labour relations that have punctuated human history. Similarly, it places convictism back within migration history at large, bridging the gap between the growing literature on convict transportation and research on slavery and other forms of free and bonded migration. Contributors are: Carlos Aguirre, David Arnold, Marc Buggeln, Timothy Coates, Christian G. De Vito, Mary Gibson, Miriam J. Groen-Vallinga, Stacey Hynd, Padraic Kenney, Alex Lichtenstein, Hamish Maxwell-Stewart, Alice Rio, Ricardo D. Salvatore, Jean-Lucien Sanchez, Pieter Spierenburg, Stephan Steiner, Laurens E.
