It is also a retelling of indigenous creativity, agency, and resistance in the face of unprecedented globalization and violence. Waves Across the South shifts the narrative of the Age of Revolutions and the origins of the British Empire; it foregrounds a vast southern zone that ranges from the Arabian Sea and southwest Indian Ocean across to the Bay of Bengal, and onward to the South Pacific and the Tasman Sea. As the empires of the Dutch, French, and especially the British reached across these regions, they faced a surge of revolutionary sentiment. Long-standing venerable Eurasian empires, established patterns of trade and commerce, and indigenous practice also served as a context for this transformative era.   aOcean and civilization — History.  aIslands of the Pacific — History — 19th century.   a Indian Ocean Region — History — 19th century.  aPacific Area — Colonization — History.   a Indian Ocean Region — Colonization — History.  aGreat Britain — Colonies — Oceania — History — 19th century.   a Great Britain — Colonies — Asia — History — 19th century.
