AB  - As debates over globalization and multiculturalism intensify, missionary archives are increasingly being seen as important sources of relevant history. This text, based on extensive archival research, shows how Americans in the late 19th century tried to transplant a type of religious institution, the Sunday school, from their homeland into British colonial India. How, in doing so, their methods conflicted with their aims is the subject of this work. The resulting institution was hybrid-Christian in intent, 'heathenized' in form, but, ultimately, universal in aspiration. Told as a story, this volume holds appeal for anyone interested in religion, education, and transnational history.
