✦ Synopsis

Focusing on late colonial India, Bellenoit analyses education in colonial society. Most scholars view missionary teachers as handmaidens of the empire, and their theology as intrinsically imperialistic. 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.
