Women, Mission and Church in Uganda

Ethnographic encounters in an age of imperialism, 1895-1960s

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume recounts the experiences of female missionaries who worked in Uganda in and after 1895. It examines the personal stories of those women who were faced with a stubbornly masculine administration representative of a wider masculine administrative network in the British Empire. Encounters with Ugandan women and men of a range of ethnicities, the gender relations in those societies and relations between the British Protectorate administration and Ugandan Christian women are all explored. The analysis is offset by the author's experience of working in Uganda at the close of British Protectorate status in the 1960s, employed in a school founded by the Uganda Mission.
