Ebook: Missionary Education and Empire in Late Colonial India 1860-1920 (Empires in Perspective)

Focusing on late colonial India, Bellenoit analyses education in colonial society.

However, Bellenoit argues that their interaction with India led them away from imperial norms; a simplistic division of colonisers and colonised is insufficient to explain power relations in late colonial India.
