Description:
|
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Topics in the collection range from John Saillant's essay on the missions of free African Americans to Liberia in the 19th century to Grant Wacker's essay on the eventual disillusionment of noted writer Pearl S. Buck. Kathryn Long's essay on the 'Auca martyrs' offers a sobering case study of the missionary establishment's power to, in tandem with the evangelical and secular press, create and record the stories of our time. William Svelmoe documents the improbable friendship between fundamentalist Bible translator William Cameron Townsend and Mexico's secular socialist president Lazaro Cardenas. And Anne Blue Wills details the ways many American groups--black, Protestant, Catholic, and Mormon--sought to convert one another, steadfastly envisioning 'others' as every bit as 'heathen' as those in far-off lands.
