Power and conviction : the political economy of missionary work in colonial-era Africa

Frank-Borge Wietzke

This 'Element' discusses the impacts of missionary work in sub-Saharan Africa. It illustrates inherently more political and context-dependent aspects of missionary behavior, such as local struggles for religious hegemony between Protestants and Catholics and interactions between colonial regimes and the church-based provision of goods like education.
