Hardback. New. This book sets aside the usual scholarly categories for understanding religion and colonialism: lenses of nationalism, modernity and colonial assimilation, to immerse itself in the world of Burmese Buddhist lay associations and the responses to British colonialism at the turn of the 20th century.

Paperback / softback. New. Explores the dissonance between the goals of the colonial state and the Buddhist worldview that animated Burmese Buddhism at the turn of the twentieth century. Saving Buddhism contributes to ongoing studies of colonialism, nation, and identity in Southeast Asian studies by working to denaturalize nationalist histories.
