Empire from the Margins

History & Biography

“Gordon Heath displays strong historical insight in his recognition of the historical value of the responses of Canadian minority religions to British military imperialism in South Africa at the beginning of the twentieth century. Heath has gathered important studies of the Canadian religions on the margins of the British Empire and how they overcame their natural pacifism to believe that British dominion in South Africa would spread civilization and culture to the benefit of all nations.”
