A "Pilgrim Reformer" at the Heart of the Empire: Behramji Malabari in Late-Victorian London. 330 1 $a"In this study, Antoinette Burton investigates the colonial empire through the eyes of three of its Indian subjects. The first of these, Pandita Ramabai, arrived in London in 1883 to seek a medical education. She left in 1886, having resisted the Anglican Church's attempts to make her an evangelical missionary, and began a career as a celebrated social reformer. Cornelia Sorabji went to Oxford to study law and became one of the first Indian women to be called to the bar. Already a well-known Bombay journalist, Behramji Malabari traveled to London in 1890 to seek support for his social reform projects. All three left the influence of imperial power keenly during even the most everyday encounters in Britain, and their extensive writings are conscious analyses of how "Englishness" was made and remade in relation to imperialism." "Written clearly and persuasively, this historical treatment of the colonial encounter challenges the myth of Britain's insularity from empire, demonstrating instead that the United Kingdom was a terrain open to contest and refiguration."--Jacket. 606 $aEast Indians$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aImperialism$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEast Indians$xHistory$y19th century$zGreat Britain 606 $aImperialism$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xRelations$zIndia 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial life and customs$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yVictoria, 1837-1901 607 $aIndia$xRelations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xEthnic relations 615 0$aEast Indians$xHistory 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory 615 0$aEast Indians$xHistory 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory 676 $a305.891/411041/09034 700 $aBurton$b Antoinette M.$f1961-$0920758 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495870403321 996 $aAt the heart of the empire$92833722 997 $aUNINA
