Renda. 520 $a This work rethinks the importance of women and religion within U.S. imperial culture from the early nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth. In an era when the United States was emerging as a world power to challenge the hegemony of European imperial powers, American women missionaries strove to create a new Kingdom of God. They did much to shape a Protestant empire based on American values and institutions. This book examines American women's activism in a broad transnational context. It offers a complex array of engagements with their efforts to provide rich intercultural histories about the global expansion of American culture and American Protestantism. An international and interdisciplinary group of scholars, the contributors bring under-utilized evidence from U.S. and non-U.S. sources to bear on the study of American women missionaries abroad and at home. Focusing on women from several denominations, they build on the insights of postcolonial scholarship to incorporate the agency of the people among whom missionaries lived. They explore how people in China, the Congo Free State, Egypt, India, Japan, Ndebeleland (colonial Rhodesia), Ottoman Bulgaria, and the Philippines perceived, experienced, and negotiated American cultural expansion. They also consider missionary work among people within the United States who were constructed as foreign, including African Americans, Native Americans, and Chinese immigrants. By presenting multiple cultural perspectives, this collection challenges simplistic notions about missionary cultural imperialism, revealing the complexity of American missionary attitudes toward race and the ways that ideas of domesticity were reworked and appropriated in various settings. It expands the field of U.S. women's history into the international arena, increases understanding of the global spread of American culture, and offers new concepts for analyzing the history of American empire. 650 0 $a Women in missionary work $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Women in missionary work $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Protestant churches $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Protestant churches $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Protestant churches $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Protestant churches $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 20th century. 650 6 $a Femmes dans l'Åuvre missionnaire $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 19e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Femmes dans l'Åuvre missionnaire $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a EÌglises protestantes $x Histoire $x Histoire $y 19e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a EÌglises protestantes $x Histoire $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a EÌglises protestantes $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 19e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a EÌglises protestantes $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Relations exteÌrieures $y 19e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Relations exteÌrieures $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Protestant churches. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079875 650 7 $a Protestant churches $x Missions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079897 650 7 $a Women in missionary work. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177928 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Imperialismus $2 gnd 650 7 $a Protestantismus $2 gnd 651 7 $a USA $2 gnd 650 7 $a Mission $2 gnd 650 7 $a Missionarin $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Reeves-Ellington, Barbara, $d 1949- 700 1 $a Sklar, Kathryn Kish. 700 1 $a Shemo, Connie Anne. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Competing kingdoms. $d Durham [NC] : Duke University Press, 2010 $w (OCoLC)1311264561 830 0 $a American encounters/global interactions. 856 41 $3 Scholars Portal $u http://books.scholarsportal.info/viewdoc.html?id=/ebooks/ebooks0/duke/2010-08-24/1/9780822392590 856 41 $u https://doi.org/10.1215/9780822392590 856 42 $3 Book review (H-Net) $u http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=36409 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724065752.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7DECA39E214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
