This book is a study of the ambitions, activities and achievements
of Methodist missionaries in northern Burma from 1887-1966 and the
expulsion of the last missionaries by Ne Win. The story is told
through painstaking original research in archives which contain
thousands of hitherto unpublished documents and eyewitness accounts
meticulously recorded by the Methodist missionaries. This
accessible study constitutes a significant contribution to a very
little-known area of missionary history. Leigh pulls together the
themes of conflict, politics and proselytisation in to a
fascinating study of great breadth. The historical nuances of the
relationship between religion and governance in Burma are traced in
an accessible style. This book will appeal to those teaching or
studying colonial and postcolonial history, Burmese politics, and
the history of missionary work. -- .
