Home Rule National Sovereignty and the Separation of Natives and Migrants by Nandita Sharma

[narsy]

Let nothing be called natu­ral.
In an age of bloody confusion,
Ordered disorder, planned caprice,
And dehumanized humanity, lest all ­things
Be held unalterable!
—­Bertolt Brecht, 1937

an important observation in the book.

The colonial govts made laws to make sure people from its colonies never escaped out of their catchment areas, without permits and passes. They were derogatorily labeled as 'natives'.

in a turn of fate, now in post colonial world, previously colonized have embraced the word 'natives' as something to be proud of, and are creating institutions to let outsiders into their countries.

lol. people.
