"Masterful, well-researched and incredibly detailed ... a truly thought provoking read, accessible across a number of disciplines." H-SAfrica "Subtle, very well-grounded in the sources, even-handed, well-argued, unpretentious, pleasantly written and in short, an intellectual treat. Read it." Studies in Religion "[the author's] diligent research immensely enriches our understanding of missionary politics." American Historical Review "This is an outstanding work of careful scholarship ... Elbourne demonstrates a clear mastery of archival and secondary sources while drawing widely and deftly on the best that contemporary historical forms have to offer. The result is a richly-textured book that affords us a balanced work of synthesis." James Greenlee, co-author of Good Citizens: British Missionaries and Imperial States, 1870-1918
