Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dawn in the Dark Continent: Or Africa and Its Missions, the Duff Missionary Lectures for 1902 This volume forms the sixth of the series of lectures delivered in connection with the Duff Missionary Lectureship, founded by one of the greatest of Indian missionaries - the Rev. Dr. Alexander Duff. His son, Mr. Pirie Duff, carried out his father's wish that certain funds should be used for that object. Such lectures are delivered once in four years, and must be published within a given time thereafter. The subject of the present course is African Missions. Missionary opinion is now less wanted, and is probably less valued than reliable missionary information. Intelligent laymen ask for information on which to form their own views on the success of missions. Hence the form into which some of the chapters in the middle of the volume have been cast. An attempt has been made to give brief sketches of some of the chief Missionary Societies, of their methods, and of the work they have accomplished in the African continent.

Download or read book Missionary Work in Africa in Eug ne Casalis s Time and Beyond written by Jamary Molumeli and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British influence on what was to become the British Empire and French influence on French speaking Africa have been extensively explored so far, but few books focus on French missions in Britain’s sphere of influence. The French missionary Eugène Casalis represents a perhaps unique experience of a man taking part in the nation-building process in an African country, Lesotho, which belonged to London’s ‘reserve’. Casalis was to become the King’s special advisor and is still hailed today as one of the few men who built the country. Based on the research of a dozen African and European academics who convened in Morija in 2012 to commemorate the bicentenary of that great Protestant humanist and to analyse “Missionary Work in Africa in Eugene Casalis’s Time and Beyond”, this book will provide fresh and stimulating material for readers interested in colonial and post-colonial studies, missions and religion, and cultural and historical exchanges between the Southern part of the African continent and Great Britain.
Download or read book The Dark Continent written by Frits Andersen and published by Aarhus Universitetsforlag. This book was released on 2015-12-31 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa: a forgotten continent that evades all attempts at control and transcends reason. Or does it? This book describes Europe's image of Africa and relates how the conception of the Dark Continent has been fabricated in European culture--with the Congo as an analytical focal point. It also demonstrates that the myth was more than a creation of colonial propaganda; the Congo reform movement--the first international human rights movement--spread horror stories that still have repercussions today. The book cross-examines a number of witness testimonies, reports and novels, from Stanley's travelogues and Conrad's Heart of Darkness to Herge's Tintin and Burroughs' Tarzan, as well as recent Danish and international Congo literature. The Dark Continent? proposes that the West's attitudes to Africa regarding free trade, emergency aid and intervention are founded on the literary historical assumptions of stories and narrative forms that have evolved since 1870.

Download or read book Cultures of Darkness written by Bryan D. Palmer and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peasants, religious heretics, witches, pirates, runaway slaves, prostitutes and pornographers, frequenters of taverns and fraternal society lodge rooms, revolutionaries, blues and jazz musicians, beats, and contemporary youth gangs--those who defied authority, choosing to live outside the defining cultural dominions of early insurgent and, later, dominant capitalism are what Bryan D. Palmer calls people of the night. These lives of opposition, or otherness, were seen by the powerful as deviant, rejecting authority, and consequently threatening to the established order. Constructing a rich historical tapestry of example and experience spanning eight centuries, Palmer details lives of exclusion and challenge, as the "night travels" of the transgressors clash repeatedly with the powerful conventions of their times. Nights of liberation and exhilarating desire--sexual and social--are at the heart of this study. But so too are the dangers of darkness, as marginality is coerced into corners of pressured confinement, or the night is used as a cover for brutalizing terror, as was the case in Nazi Germany or the lynching of African Americans. Making extensive use of the interdisciplinary literature of marginality found in scholarly work in history, sociology, cultural studies, literature, anthropology, and politics, Palmer takes an unflinching look at the rise and transformation of capitalism as it was lived by the dispossessed and those stamped with the mark of otherness.
Download or read book Constructing Mission History written by Stanley H. Skreslet and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three master narratives currently dominate the analysis of modern mission history.?One puts foreign missionaries at the heart of the story.?A second emphasizes the colonial aspect of modern missions.?Here, missionaries are not heroes but villains, who are implicated in hegemonic schemes of imperial domination.?Thirdly, mission history is subordinated to one of its outcomes, the advent of World Christianity.?In this master narrative, the concept of contextualization looms large, bolstered by Sanneh's notion of translatability and emphasis on the agency of non-Westerners, who participate in and subtly shape the complex social processes of evangelization.?While all three of these master narratives are insightful, none of them adequately balances concern for missionary initiative and indigenous agency.?? Borrowing from speech-act theory, Skreslet offers a new analytical approach to the modern roots of World Christianity that differentiates between what a speaker might intend to communicate and the effects of what has been said or actions taken both in the moment and over time.?Corresponding to the concepts of illocution and perlocution as these technical terms are used in speech-act theory, the book is structured in two main sections.?Initially, the focus is on expressed missionary motives. Part two engages a representative set of modern-era mission performances involving many more actors than just the foreign evangelizers whose stated or implied intentions are emphasized in part one.
