这本由罗尼特·利玛窦编辑的散文集考察了被流放到亚洲各地的皇室成员、政治犯和被定罪的罪犯的被迫迁移。它的时间重点从20世纪民族主义斗争中政治人物的流亡转移到荷兰、英国和法国帝国利用流亡作为殖民统治的工具。在范围方面，该系列通过帝国网络利用这些流亡流动性将亚洲置于全球背景中。它以克莱尔安德森的章节“亚洲流亡的全球历史”开始，该章节描绘了东印度公司在南亚和东南亚的刑事定居点与印度洋之间的罪犯运输。洛林·帕特森（Lorraine Paterson）对从印度支那（现代越南）到整个法兰西帝国的刑罚殖民地（包括新喀里多尼亚，法属圭亚那和留尼汪）的囚犯的讨论也反映了这一点。利斯顿关于新南威尔士州的文章，用利玛窦的话来说，是一个比较流放的殖民地，“把......我们在更广泛的背景下的“亚洲例子”“（第2页）。然而，作为一个欧洲罪犯的刑罚目的地，它已经有了众所周知的历史，它位于更广泛的收藏集中在亚洲在全球被迫移民网络中的地位的外围。
This collection of essays, edited by Ronit Ricci, examines the forced migration of royals, political prisoners, and convicted criminals who were exiled from and across Asia. Its chronological focus shifts attention away from the exile of political figures during twentiethcentury nationalist struggles, towards the use of exile as a tool of colonial governance in the Dutch, British and French Empires.In terms of scope, the collection uses these exilic mobilities through imperial networks to place Asia within a global context. It opens with Clare Anderson’s chapter,‘A Global History of Exile in Asia’, which maps the transportation of convicts between East India Company penal settlements across South and South East Asia, and the Indian Ocean. This is mirrored by Lorraine Paterson’s discussion of prisoners from Indochina (modern day Vietnam) to penal colonies across the French empire, including New Caledonia, French Guiana and Reunion. Liston’s essay on New South Wales serves as a comparative penal colony to, in Ricci’s words,‘put... our “Asian examples” in a broader context’(p. 2). However, as a penal destination for European convicts, with an already well-known history, it sits peripherally to the wider collection’s focus on Asia’s place within global networks of forced migration.
