Description

This book follows Thomas Jones, the first Welsh missionary from rural Wales to Cherrapunji, now one of the most Christianised parts of India. It foregrounds broader political, scientific, racial and military ideologies that mobilised the Khasi Hills into an interconnected network of imperial control.
