"The Republic of Anticolonial Letters: Reading Anticolonialism Between South Asia and North America," connects the aesthetic experiments of Indian anti-imperial writers to their vision for an egalitarian postcolonial society. Central to the anticolonial literary project, I argue, was an effort to undermine the hierarchical logic of colonialism by reimagining the social relationship between the author and the reader. This was especially important in the context of British India, where the British author was the aesthetic extension of British colonial rule. To upend this hierarchical and colonial configuration, Indian anticolonial writers disavowed their own authorial position and, in its place, advocated practices of communal reading and textual interpretation. By altering the literary and political relationship between the transcendent figure of the author and the multitude of readers, anticolonial thought also offered new forms of political subjectivity well beyond the boundaries of liberalism. I combine queer theory, political theory, and print culture studies to show how anticolonial thought imagined "readers" as new subjects for an alternative modernity in the wake of imperial rule.

520 $a "The Republic of Anticolonial Letters" opens out from close readings of Dhan Gopal Mukerji, Lala Har Dayal, B.R. Ambedkar, and Bhagat Singh to account for what I call the "world republic of anticolonial letters" as a debate about reading, postcolonial theory, diaspora, and World Literature. By force of exile or in search of education, these writers imagined literary and political forms at the nexus of the British and American Empires between World War I and World War II. By tracing this alternative circuit of thought, I illustrate a forgotten history of political philosophy and literature rooted in conditions of exile, theories of radical democracy, and transnational visions of social justice. This dissertation argues that the literary and philosophical project of contemporary democracy emerged not from within Europe, but rather as a response to the horrors of its colonial rule around the world.
