"Meticulous work has been done on the main subjects' background and careers...commendable...enlivened with some good stories." -Lalage Brown, The Overseas Pensioner Journal "Whitehead's theme is a novel one - education has not been a big topic in recent colonial history... He is, in essence, right, and right about the need for such questioning... Whitehead is an indefatigable chronicler of facts." -Chandak Sengoopta, Times Higher Education Supplement Paedagogica Historica (Historical Journal): "This collection represents an invaluable contribution to the study of British colonial education" "fine work...fascinating" "opens up exciting possibilities for future research" "a fine monument to an excellent scholar" 'A richly detailed monograph littered with a mix of Oxford blues, alcoholics, and inveterate travellers struggling with the task of educating across the cultural divide.' - History of Education Researcher
