Missionary Discourses of Difference

Negotiating Otherness in the British Empire, 1840-1900

Beschreibung

Missionary Discourse examines missionary writings from India and southern Africa to explore colonial discourses about race, religion, gender and culture. The book is organised around three themes: family, sickness and violence, which were key areas of missionary concern, and important axes around which colonial difference was forged.
