Missionaries and their medicine: a christian modernity for tribal India
Hardiman, David
Missionaries and their medicine: a christian modernity for tribal India - Manchester: Manchester University Press 2008 - xvii, 261p.; pbk; 23cm.
Includes bibliography and index.
Missionaries and their medicine is a lucid and enthralling study of the encounter between Christian missionaries and an Indian tribal community, the Bhils, in the period 1880 to 1964. The study is informed by a deep knowledge of the people amongst whom the missionaries worked, the author having lived for extensive periods in the tribal tracts of western India. He argues that the Bhils were never the passive objects of missionary attention and that they created for themselves their own form of 'Christian modernity.'
