With the publication of my book The United States of India: Anticolonial Literature & Transnational Refraction (2020), I wanted to make available the research files from various archives and special collections that I had a chance to visit in the process of researching this book. Some of the materials used are already available through existing digital archives like the South Asian American Digital Archive and the W.E.B. Du Bois Papers at UMass Amherst.
If you would like to look at any of these materials, just email me and I’ll share a dropbox link.
