British Burma in the New Century, 1895–1918 cover

British Burma in the New Century draws upon neglected but talented colonial authors to portray Burma between 1895 and 1918, which was the apogee of British governance. These writers, most of them 'Burmaphiles' wrote against widespread misperceptions about Burma.

'British Burma in the New Century, 1895-1918 offers an inventive and informative account of colonial rule at its zenith. This perceptive book opens up a striking panorama on the cultural and intellectual dimensions of British imperialism in Burma. The author's keen eye and lucid prose ranges comfortably and convincingly from questions of place, memory, and religious belief to problems of urbanization, crime, and ethnic insurgency.' - Peter John Brobst, Ohio University, USA
