Recenzii
Brückenhaus constructs an excellent history of anti-colonialism in Europe, using both police documents and correspondence seized by the police.
Daniel Brückenhaus' new monograph... contains all the exciting elements of new international history. Its archival span covers several countries across four continents, its source base is multilingual and it features a wide and diverse cast of characters...This work is...a contribution to the growing historiography on the sites and spaces of transimperial and transnational radical politics in the twentieth century. This intervention is both important and timely because it allows us to understand how practices of anticolonial activism were shaped by, and in turn influenced, the evolving practices of policing and surveillance.
In Policing Transnational Protest, Daniel Brückenhaus tracks how Britain and France constructed transnational policing practices and institutions in the first half of the twentieth century in order to monitor and combat anti-imperial movements that were, themselves, increasingly international...Carefully argued, and based on prodigious research in British, French, German, and Indian archives, this important but restrained book is a model of how to conceptualize and write transnational history. It deserves a wide readership.
In addition to looking beyond state barriers, [t]his work significantly moves from vertical analysis, between colonial states and their colonies, to horizontal analysis, assessing the movement of anti-colonial nationalists between European states, and the work of the state and its institutions across those same borders in surveilling and constraining them.
Brückenhaus's transnational orientation illuminates important dynamics of anticolonialism and imperial surveillance that would be largely invisible if considered within the framework of a single imperial story... It should thus be of interest to a wide variety of scholars of modern Europe interested in the transnational dimensions of the history of imperialism, anticolonialism, policing, and political culture.
