Sacred Rivals

Catholic Missions and the Making of Islam in Nineteenth-Century France and Algeria

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sacred Rivals focuses on French Catholic ideas about Islam and Arab-ness in the context of religious culture wars in France and of missionary work in colonial Algeria, highlighting the shift from initial admiration for Islam and optimism about Muslim conversion to Christianity to the disillusionment by the end of the nineteenth century when French Catholics joined in racially coded attacks on "Arab" Islam.
