Описание: This book examines the relationship between Catholic missionaries and the colonial administration in southeastern Belgian Congo. It challenges the perception that the Church and the state worked seamlessly together. Instead, using the territory of Kongolo as a case study, the book reconfigures their relationship as one of competitive co-dependency. Based on extensive archival research and oral histories, the book argues that both institutions retained distinct agendas that, while coinciding during certain periods, clashed on many occasions. The study begins by outlining the pre-colonial history of southeastern Congo. The second chapter examines how the Church began its encounters with the peoples in Kongolo and the Tanganyika province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Subsequent chapters highlight how missionaries exerted significant influence over the colonial construction of chieftainship and the politics of Congolese decolonization. The book ends in 1962, with the massacre of a number of Holy Ghost Fathers in an event that signaled the beginning of a more Africanized Church in Kongolo.

Twelve companies of American missionaries were sent to the Hawaiian Islands between 1819 and 1848 with the goal of spreading American Christianity and New England values. By the 1850s American missionary families in the islands had birthed more than 250 white children, considered Hawaiian subjects by the indigenous monarchy but U.S. citizens by missionary parents. In Hawaiian by Birth Joy Schulz explores the tensions among the competing parental, cultural, and educational interests affecting these children and, in turn, the impact the children had on nineteenth-century U.S. foreign policy.
These children of white missionaries would eventually alienate themselves from the Hawaiian monarchy and indigenous population by securing disproportionate economic and political power. Their childhoods—complicated by both Hawaiian and American influences—led to significant political and international ramifications once the children reached adulthood. Almost none chose to follow their parents into the missionary profession, and many rejected the Christian faith. Almost all supported the annexation of Hawai‘i despite their parents’ hope that the islands would remain independent. Whether the missionary children moved to the U.S. mainland, stayed in the islands, or traveled the world, they took with them a sense of racial privilege and cultural superiority. Schulz adds children’s voices to the historical record with this first comprehensive study of the white children born in the Hawaiian Islands between 1820 and 1850 and their path toward political revolution.

Re-situating Andean colonial history from the perspective of the local historians of ayllu Qaqachaka, in highland Bolivia, this book draws on regional oral history combined with local and public written archives. Rejecting the binary models in vogue in colonial and postcolonial studies (indigenous/non-indigenous, Andean/Western, conquered/conquering), it explores the complex intercalation of legal pluralism and local history in the negotiations around Spanish demands, resulting in the so-called “Andean pact.”
The Qaqachaka’s point of reference was the preceding Inka occupation, so in fulfilling Spanish demands they sought cultural continuity with this recent past. Spanish colonial administration, with its roots in Roman-Germanic and Islamic law, infiltrated many practices into the newly-conquered territories. Two major cycles of ayllu tales trace local responses to these colonial demands, in the practices for establishing settlements, and the feeding and dressing of the Catholic saints inside the new church, with their forebears in the Inka mummies.
Автор: Dimock Название: Women, Mission and Church in Uganda ISBN: 1138228346 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138228344 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 142910.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: 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 Westminster and other outposts of 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 in detail. The analysis is offset by the author’s experience of working in Uganda at the close of British Protectorate status in the 1960s, employed by the Uganda Government Education Department in a school founded by the Uganda Mission.

Описание: Hier comme aujourd’hui, le parrainage de bapteme et la parente spirituelle qui en decoule constituent dans le monde chretien un systeme d’alliances sociales entre familles et individus. Par-dela les motivations religieuses de l’institution baptismale, le parrainage est un instrument au service de strategies sociales, economiques et politiques. Depuis une dizaine d’annees, les sciences sociales (histoire, anthropologie, sociologie et sciences politiques) ont fait de ce sujet un champ de recherches particulierement dynamique a l’echelle internationale. Cet ouvrage collectif reunit des contributions de chercheurs de onze pays europeens et americains relevant de disciplines differentes. Il a pour ambition d’etudier les pratiques de parrainage dans une perspective de long terme allant du XVIe siecle a nos jours. Il propose, pour la premiere fois, des comparaisons sur des terrains locaux et entre les differentes confessions chretiennes : catholicisme, orthodoxies et protestantismes. Il entend aussi mettre en perspective les realites europeennes anciennes avec les usages du parrainage tels que les ont importes mais surtout adaptes les societes coloniales d’Amerique. Ce livre constitue une etape dans une reflexion collective sur le parrainage qui interessera tous ceux, chercheurs, acteurs publics, citoyens, qui reflechissent a la construction du lien social dans les siecles passes et dans le monde contemporain. Il met en lumiere la souplesse de cette institution qui a assure jusqu’a aujourd’hui sa perennite tout comme l’inventivite avec laquelle les populations s’en sont empare.

Автор: Tariq Amin-Khan Название: The Post-Colonial State in the Era of Capitalist Globalization: Historical, Political and Theoretical Approaches to State Formation ISBN: 0415719763 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780415719766 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 48990.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book explores how the colonial state left a legacy that continues to affect the post-colonial state in the era of globalization. It analyzes the formation of two types of post-colonial states, capitalist and proto-capitalist varieties, which are explored using case studies of India and Pakistan.
Although it lasted only thirty years, German colonial rule dramatically transformed South West Africa. The colonial government not only committed the first genocide of the twentieth century against the Herero and Nama, but in their efforts to establish a “model colony” and “racial state,” they brought about even more destructive and long-lasting consequences. In this now-classic study—available here for the first time in English—the author provides an indispensable account of Germany's colonial utopia in what is present-day Namibia, showing how the highly rationalized planning of Wilhelmine authorities ultimately failed even as it added to the profound immiseration of the African population.
