explores
tlie
disso¬
nance
between the goals of the colonial
state and the Buddhist worldview that
animated Burmese Buddhism at the
turn of the twentieth centuiy. For many
Burmese, the salient and ordering
discourse was not nation or modernity
but sciscm.ci;, the life of the Buddha s
teachings. Burmese Buddhists inter¬
preted the political and social changes
between
1890
a nel X020
as signs that
the Buddha s
sãscmci
was
deteriorat
ing.
This rear of decline drove waves of ac¬
tivity and organizing to prevent the loss
of the Buddha s teachings. Burmese
set out to save Buddhism, but achieved
much more: they took advantage of
the indeterminacy of the moment to
challenge the col
o n
i al
frameworks that
were
b
eginn
і
n.g to shape their world.
Author Alicia Turner has examined
thousands of* rarely used sources
—
newspapers and Buddhist journals,
donation lists, and colonial reports
—
to
trace three discourses set in motion by
the colonial encounter: the evolving
understanding of
sãscin.ci
as an orient¬
ing frainework for change, the adaptive
modes of identity made possible in the
moral community, and the ongoing
definition of religion as a site of con¬
flict and negotiation of autonomy.
Beginning from an understanding that
defining and redefining the bound¬
aries of religion operated as a key

she explores how
Burmese Buddhists became actively
engaged in defining and inflecting re¬
ligion to shape their colonial situation
and forward their own local projects.
Saving Buddhism intervenes
not just in scholarly conversations
about religion and colonialism, but in
theoretical work in religious studies
on the categories of religion and
secular. It contributes to ongoing
studies of colonialism, nation, and
identity in Southeast Asian studies by
working to denaturalize nationalist
histories. It also engages conversations
on millennia
lis m
and the construc¬
tion of identity in Buddhist studies
by tracing the fluid nature of
sãscmci
as a discourse. The layers of Buddhist
history that emerge challenge us to see
multiple modes of identity in colonial
modernit}
and offer insights into the
instabilities of categories we too often
take for granted.
