Описание: This book examines how in defending Asian rights and their own version of Christian idealism against scientific racism, missionaries developed a complex theology of race that prefigured modern ideologies of multiculturalism and reached its final, belated culmination in the liberal Protestant support of the civil rights movements in the 1960s.

Описание: Michael Pasquier examines the "lived" religion of French missionaries in their daily encounters with anti-Catholic Protestants and anti-clerical Catholics on the American frontier. Focusing on the collective thoughts, feelings, and actions of priests who found themselves caught between the formal canonical standards of the church and the informal experiences of missionaries in American culture, Pasquier illuminates the historical intersection of American, French, andRoman interests in the United States. He finds that at no point did French missionaries engage more directly in distinctively American affairs than in the religious debates surrounding slavery, secessions, and civil war. These issues, he shows, compelled even the most politically aloof missionariesto step out of the shadow of Rome and stake their church on the side of the Confederacy.

Описание:
'British Women Missionaries in Bengal, 1793-1861' focuses on the contributions made by Dorothy Carey, Hannah Marshman, Mrs Yates, Mrs Pearce, Mary Ann Cooke, Mrs Mundy, Miss Bird, Mrs Weitbrecht and Hannah Mullens, even if some were to only suffer silently while others were more active in their mission to educate and uplift native girls and women. These women rendered invaluable service in running schools and boarding houses for girls, and providing shelter and security to widows and orphans in the missions. Their work was a pioneering contribution which helped build a defining space and agency for women's activities within a patriarchal colonial society. Their role and the challenges they faced have greatly shaped our understanding of the 'woman's question' and future mission activities by women, for women in the Indian society.
The period under study sees the advent of the British in India and the beginning of colonialism and argues that the arrival of the Western missionary women led to extensive contestations and transformations in the role of women, in both India and Britain. It is important to understand exactly what was at stake when white women were brought in with a special imperial 'burden of civilizing' their counterparts in the colonies. 'British Women Missionaries in Bengal, 1793-1861' focuses on the contradictory nature of such positions in terms of dominance and subordination. These 'sisters of mission' were, albeit to a limited extent, seen as empowered agents responsible for civilizing and liberating their 'other' sisters. As the book works to illustrate, these first generation of emancipationists were not doing it for a universal, suffering, downtrodden sisterhood; neither were they articulate in their arguments for female emancipation. On the contrary, there was the struggle to adapt themselves to the challenges of complex factors like physical displacement from home, emotional bareness, economic dependence, family responsibilities, diseases and death, and psychological pressure to fit into a stereotype of a good missionary/wife - a role predetermined for them and many a times without their consent, which suited the largely male-dominated colonizing and proselytizing missions in British India. The issue of 'woman's question' was more about the demonstration of white women's moral authority, as distinguished from political authority exercised by men, and clearly differentiated in the private and public domains. Their moral superiority, though limited to domestic spheres, helped ratify the public imperial space as beneficial. This then was their responsibility towards their race, nation and for the empire itself.
'British Women Missionaries in Bengal, 1793-1861' chronicles and historicizes women missionaries' contributions in Bengal, from the participation of the wives of missionaries, particularly the Baptist missionaries of Serampore and Calcutta, and their role typically as 'helpmeets', to single women missionaries who began arriving in the latter part of the period under study. The transition from 'wives of missionaries' to 'missionary women' was one of negotiation - a negotiation of women's position within a very constricted patriarchal colonial framework. As 'agents' of emancipating the 'other' women, these women missionaries inadvertently opened a similar space for themselves which largely redefined their roles and identity. The book also demonstrates that the initial stages of missionary activities, secular or for conversion, were often without reflecting or internalizing native women's position, place or their identity in the present society. Part of what has created a veritable tension between women's role and imperialism has been the way Western feminism has ignored the realities and complexities of feminism and has universalized Western women's experiences as representative of 'problems of women'. Their entire exercise of educating and 'uplifting' native women for
Описание: Civilizing Habits explores the life stories of three French women missionaries - Philippine Duchesne, Emilie de Vialar, and Anne-Marie Javouhey - who transgressed boundaries to evangelize in North America, the Mediterranean basin, and France`s slave colonies. Their initiative and energy allowed both the Catholic church and the French state to reestablish global empires in the nineteenth century.
