Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventy-Five Years in the Madura Mission: A History of the Mission in South India Under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, Boston, Massachusetts, U. S. A This history has been prepared by request of the M adura Mission. It has been carried through under certain limitations, especially those of time, expense and material. The time necessary for preparation, investigation, writing and publishing has had to come out of the multifarious duties Of a missionary's busy life. All expenses had to be kept Within the limits of great moderation. Materials are abundant, but of very uneven proportions. Certain periods, and certain phases of work are abundantly supplied, while others Of equal or greater importance have very meagre materials from which to draw. Effort has been made to group events in their relations and sequences in some due proportion to their importance; It has not been possible to apportion the illustrations accord ing to merit or importance, some desirable ones being impossible to Obtain, and others being too expensive. At the Same time such as were available have been used to illustrate interesting persons and Objects. For a few of these we are indebted to the kindness of friends. Quotations from many writers scattered through 75 years cannot all be harmonised into a uniform Spelling or use of words, especially names, for these have changed considerably during the years under review.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the emergence of Hindu nationalism, the conversion of Indians to Christianity has become a volatile issue, erupting in violence against converts and missionaries. At the height of British colonialism, however, conversion was a path to upward mobility for low-castes and untouchables, especially in the Tamil-speaking south of India. In this book, Eliza F. Kent takes a fresh look at these conversions, focusing especially on the experience of women converts and the ways in which conversion transformed gender roles and expectations. Kent argues that the creation of a new, "respectable" community identity was central to the conversion process for the agricultural laborers and artisans who embraced Protestant Christianity under British rule. At the same time, she shows, this new identity was informed as much by elite Sanskritic customs and ideologies as by Western Christian discourse. Stigmatized by the dominant castes for their ritually polluting occupations and relaxed rules governing kinship and marriage, low-caste converts sought to validate their new higher-status identity in part by the reform of gender relations. These reforms affected ideals of femininity and masculinity in the areas of marriage, domesticity, and dress. By the creation of a "discourse of respectability," says Kent, Tamil Christians hoped to counter the cultural justifications for their social, economic, and sexual exploitation at the hands of high-caste landowners and village elites. Kent's focus on the interactions between Western women missionaries and the Indian Christian women not only adds depth to our understanding of colonial and patriarchal power dynamics, but to the intricacies of conversion itself. Posing an important challenge to normative notions of conversion as a privatized, individual moment in time, Kent's study takes into consideration the ways that public behavior, social status, and the transformation of everyday life inform religious conversion.
