商品簡介
In December 2010, the "Politics Within 19th-Century Missionary Periodicals" workshop was held in Munster, Germany, and 12 of the presentations appear here. Historians and scholars of religion cover modes of nationalism, creating nationhood and modernity, constructing missionary politics, and missionary discourses. Among the topics are diverging reports of European politics and imperial aspirations in the Periodical Accounts and in the Missions-Blatt, the politics of history in different 19th-century editions of the Lettres Edifiantes et Cuirieuse, the image of Islam as a green peril in Africa in German missionary periodicals from 1870 to 1930, and Protestant missionary periodicals debating the Boxer War of 1900-01.
