Scherer, M. A. – Journal of World History, 1996
Reexamines a well-known conflict between Unitarian reformer, Annette Akroyd, and Hindu liberal, Keshub Chunder Sen, over the administration of a private girls' school in 19th century India. Argues that previous interpretations stressing colonial ethnocentrism failed to take into account the complexity of the situation. (MJP)
