This book is a study of the changing relationship over time (1856-1994) between the Rishi; an ex-Untouchable jati of Bengal/South-West Bangladesh; and various groups of Catholic missionaries. The book's originality and importance lies in its multi-disciplinary approach which combines anthropological fieldwork; historical research; philosophical enquiry and contemporary missiological debates. Moreover; it addresses issues of great current relevance in its discussions of Orientalism; Neo-colonialism and Otherness.
