Scott Miller discusses his forthcoming book Let My Country Awake, which tells the little-known story of the Ghadar movement, founded in 1912 by Indian immigrants on the west coast of America, and its daring fight to overthrow the British Raj. It’s a thrilling tale of gunrunners, bomb plots, German spies, and a blockbuster trial; and an illuminating exploration of a long-overlooked chapter in the history of immigration and anticolonial struggle.

History Café is produced as a partnership between HistoryLink and MOHAI.

ASL Interpretation and CART captioning are available during the program. In addition, a limited number of Assistive Listening Devices are available upon request. For more accessibility support, email programs@mohai.org two weeks before the program.

Grab some food for thought–Gourmondo at MOHAI remains open until 7pm for every History Café.
