ABSTRACT
Chapter 7 focuses on the reconstruction of Tai cawfa Dao Anren’s anti-British history in the late nineteenth century that had been initiated by local historians in Yunnan beginning in the 1980s. This chapter stresses that Dao’s stories and the rewriting of his history would be less meaningful without examining other local elites’ counter-British undertakings, which have been neglected by this reconstruction of Dao’s history.
