| Sumario: | "The inescapable political dimensions of missionary enterprises were never more obvious than during the turbulent period from 1870 to 1918. As world powers expanded and often collided in all too concrete political, economic, and military terms, leaders of Britain's major missionary societies had to deal with the closure of a once open evangelical frontier. In Good Citizens, James Greenlee and Charles Johnson draw on a wide range of archival materials to chart the complex, shifting, and often contradictory reactions of leading missionary organizations to the changing imperial realities around the globe."--Jacket |
