The Rev. James Long was one of the most remarkable Protestant missionaries working in India in the nineteenth century. Sent to Calcutta at the age of 22 in 1840, he devoted his life to representing what he passionately believed were the best interests of the forgotten poor and oppressed among the Bengali population. Long was a central figure in the indigo planting controversy of 1861 and suffered imprisonment as a result. His memory is revered even today in modern India, where his contribution to the development of Bengali vernacular education, literature, history, and sociology is highly regarded. Dr Oddie has produced the first full-length biography of Rev Long, examining his work and activities in the context of his own background, philosophy and motivation as well as the political and cultural climate of the day. This book will add significantly to our knowledge of social movements in nineteenth century India and the colonial responses to them.
"In 1949, the author left his remote village in the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal, traveling by ox-cart, to pursue an education in newly-independent India. This book is the unlikely story of his life from his birth in Nepal, to his days as an activist academic in the Netherlands, and later as a global traveler and official of the United Nations. Few have experienced the equivalent of two centuries of transformation in one lifetime: from a feudal society to the digital age. Ultimately, his life and journey have been guided by a love for learning and a quest for a purposeful life."--
"The Memoirs of Alexander Herzen, Parts I and II" by Aleksandr Herzen and translated by J. D. Duff takes you into the fascinating life of Aleksandr Herzen. Herzen is known as the "father of Russian socialism" and as one of the main fathers of agrarian populism in the country. His voice helped foster change in the territory and his story is one worth remembering. Duff does Herzen justice with a faithful translation.
