This book discusses the epistemic foundation of the heuristic construct vagabond and the convergence between the politics of itinerancy and that of dissent in the context of South Asia.
It describes the fraught relationship between native itinerant practices and techniques of governmentality which have furnished different categorizations and taxonomies of mobility. The book demonstrates the historical seismic breaks  from the Orientalist to the post-Orientalist, from the premodern to the modern, and from the colonial to the post-colonial  in the representation of the vagabond in the juridico-political imagination, in historiography and cultural articulation. For instance, the drunk European sailor, the quasi-religious mendicant, and the helpless famine refugee have all been referred to as vagabonds in the colonial archive. This book examines the histories and conditions behind these conceptual overlaps, as well as the uncanny associations among categories that uneasily coexist and mirror each other as subsets of a vast range of phenomena, which may loosely be called vagabond(age).
This volume will be of interest to students and researchers of literature, cultural studies, colonial and post-colonial studies, history, migration studies, sociology, and South Asia studies.
