Del 199 - Studies in Imperialism
Missionaries and modernity
Education in the British Empire, 1830-1910

Many missionary societies established mission schools in the nineteenth century in the British Empire as a means to convert non-Europeans to Christianity. Although the details, differed in various colonial contexts, the driving ideology behind mission schools was that Christian morality was highest form of civilisation needed for non-Europeans to be useful members of colonies under British rule. This comprehensive survey of multi-colonial sites over the long time span clearly describes the missionary paradox that to draw in pupils they needed to provide secular education, but that secular education was seen to lead both to a moral crisis and to anti-British sentiments.

Legacies of David Cranz's 'Historie von Grönland' (1765)

This book brings together interdisciplinary scholars from history, theology, folklore, ethnology and meteorology to examine how David Cranz’s Historie von Grönland (1765) resonated in various disciplines, periods and countries. Collectively the contributors demonstrate the reach of the book beyond its initial purpose as a record of missionary work, and into secular and political fields beyond Greenland and Germany. The chapters also reveal how the book contributed to broader discussions and conceptualizations of Greenland as part of the Atlantic world. The interdisciplinary scope of the volume allows for a layered reading of Cranz’s book that demonstrates how different meanings could be drawn from the book in different contexts and how the book resonated throughout time and space. It also makes the broader argument that the construction of the Artic in the eighteenth century broadened our understanding of the Atlantic.

Global Perspectives on Boarding Schools in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

Inbunden, Engelska, 2022

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, thousands of pupils attended boarding schools in various places across the globe. Their experiences were vastly different, yet they all had in common that they were separated from their families and childhood friends for a period of time in order to sleep, eat, learn and move within the limited spatial sites of the boarding school. This book frames these ‘boarding schools’ as a global and transcultural phenomenon that is part of larger political and social developments of European imperialism, the Cold War, and independence movements. Drawing together case studies from colonial South Africa, colonial India, Dutch Indonesia, early twentieth-century Nigeria, Fascist Spain, Ghana, Nazi Germany, nineteenth-century Ireland, North America and the Soviet Union, this edited collection examines the ways in which boarding schools extracted pupils from their original social background in order to train, mold and shape them so that they could fit intothe perceived position in broader society. The book makes the broader argument that framing boarding schools as a global phenomenon is imperative for a deepened understanding of the global and transnational networks that linked people as well as ideas and practices of education and childhood in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Dieses Buch bringt interdisziplinäre Wissenschaftler aus den Bereichen Geschichte, Theologie, Volkskunde, Ethnologie und Meteorologie zusammen, um zu untersuchen, wie David Cranz' Historie von Grönland (1765) in verschiedenen Disziplinen, Epochen und Ländern Resonanz fand. Gemeinsam zeigen die Autoren, dass das Buch über seinen ursprünglichen Zweck als Aufzeichnung der Missionsarbeit hinaus in weltliche und politische Bereiche außerhalb Grönlands und Deutschlands hineinwirkte. Die Kapitel zeigen auch, wie das Buch zu breiteren Diskussionen und Konzeptualisierungen von Grönland als Teil der atlantischen Welt beigetragen hat. Der interdisziplinäre Umfang des Bandes ermöglicht eine vielschichtige Lektüre von Cranz' Buch, die zeigt, wie unterschiedliche Bedeutungen aus dem Buch in verschiedenen Kontexten gezogen werden konnten und wie das Buch über Zeit und Raum hinweg Resonanz fand. Außerdem wird das Argument angeführt, dass die Konstruktion der Arktis im achtzehnten Jahrhundertunser Verständnis des Atlantiks erweitert hat.

The Politics of Missionary Periodicals in the Long Nineteenth Century

PDF, Engelska, 2013

Läs direkt efter köp
This edited collection provides one of the most broadly reaching studies of nineteenth-century missionary periodicals through case studies of the ways in which this medium was used by various missionary societies to influence their readership, to conjure support for their missions, to construct images of the foreign 'other', and to help legitimise the missionary endeavour, especially amongst the so-called heathen of colonised lands. The collection demonstrates how politics affected the content of missionary periodicals, the role of censorship, and how missionary organisations promoted and disseminated their periodicals. The tightly focussed theme of the e-book allows a range of comparisons and analogies, which is further complimented by the concluding chapter that provides a theoretical analysis of missionary periodicals as a genre. The collection offers important insights into missionary propaganda and in doing so also contributes to the current discourse of missionaries as transnational cultural carriers, with the broad geographical, confessional and denominational range of the articles providing a firm reference for future scholarship in the field.
Del 38 - Studies in Christian Mission
German Moravian Missionaries in the British Colony of Victoria, Australia, 1848-1908

Focusing on the six decades that German Moravian missionaries worked in the British colony of Victoria, Australia, this book enriches understanding of colonial politics and the role of the non-British other in manipulating practice and policy in foreign realms. Central to the transnational nature of the book are questions of identity and of how individuals, and the organisations they worked for, can be seen as both colluders and opposers within nation-state borders and politics. It analyses the ways in which the Moravian missionaries navigated competing agendas within the colonial setting, especially those that impacted on their sense of personal vocation, their practices of conversion, and their understandings of the indigenous non-Christian peoples in the settler society of Victoria.
