| Summary: | Michael Rutz's The British Zion challenges the assumption that British missionaries were merely extensions of the larger colonial project. Rutz offers fresh evidence documenting British missionaries as a diverse lot who took a variety of positions when conflict arose between the rights of indigenous persons and the colonial agenda. The British Zion elucidates the manner in which Nonconformists' political concerns in the metropole shaped their colonial agendas and vice versa., Rutz begins by tracing the connections between the Evangelical Revival and the missionary movement of the nineteenth century. Rutz's focus oscillates between England and her colonies throughout the monograph. |
