The central aim of this collection of 12 studies "is the deconstruction of missions, mission activities and outcomes in the British Empire in the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth." Key themes that emerge are the explanatory power of intimate relations and gender; day-to-day interactions between missionaries, indigenous groups, and other groups of people; the role of indigenous Christians in the spread of faith and the creation of religious communities; and the socio-political and geographic contexts of missions in the British Empire. Examples of specific topics include missionaries and interracial intimacy in early New Zealand; missionaries and imperial manhood in Canada from 1880 to 1920; missionaries, islanders, and the reduction of language in the Pacific; missionary anthropologists and their informants; and missionaries, Africans, and the state in the development of education in colonial Natal, 1836-1910.
