A noted historian of Burma and a founder of the Burma Research
Society, John Sydenham Furnivall (1878-1960) supported Burmese
independence and freedom from colonial rule. However, he has been
considered as Eurocentric and in favour of colonialism, in part
because he saw it as a necessary stage in the improvement of
certain societies. Stemming from a request in 1942 by the colonial
government for Furnivall's views on reconstruction, this
influential study was published in 1948. Using the Dutch East
Indies as a case study for comparison, Furnivall assesses the
effects of the different systems of colonial rule, framed within
general surveys of their colonial policies and practices. The book
is driven by the goal of consolidating and stabilising Burma's
plural society, focusing on the importance of the welfare of the
native population. Furnivall's Netherlands India (1939) has also
been reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection.
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This

occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor

commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
