Description
The Mizo Discovery of the British Raj offers a nuanced historical analysis of how the Mizo people of Northeast India experienced colonialism and religious conversion during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rather than presenting a one-directional narrative of colonial domination, Kyle Jackson demonstrates how the Mizo actively engaged with, interpreted, and sometimes resisted the forces of the British Empire and Christian missionary movements.
This period, spanning 1890 to 1920, marked a crucial moment of cultural and religious transformation for the Mizo people. Jackson examines the intersection of political power, spiritual authority, and communal identity, revealing how Christian conversion became intertwined with colonial administration and indigenous resistance. The study provides valuable insights into the agency of colonized peoples and the complex legacy of the British Raj in shaping modern Northeast India.
