Across Oceans of Law: The Komagata Maru and Jurisdiction in the Time of Empire - Global and Insurgent Legalities
Renisa Mawani
Renisa Mawani charts the story of the Komagata Maru—a steamship that left Hong Kong for Vancouver in 1914 carrying 376 Punjabi immigrants who were denied entry into Canada—to illustrate imperialism's racial, legal, spatial, and temporal dynamics and how oceans operate as sites of jurisdictional and colonial contest.
