British Burma in the New Century, 1895–1918

'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
