Renda. 520 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. 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 20th century|2fast 650 0 Women in missionary work|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85147592|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781|xHistory|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 0 Women in missionary work|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85147592|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781|xHistory|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Protestant churches|xMissions|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85107715|xHistory|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 0 Protestant churches|xMissions|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85107715|xHistory|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Protestant churches|zUnited States|xHistory|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010108703|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002012475 650 0 Protestant churches|zUnited States|xHistory|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010108703|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002012476 650 7 Women in missionary work.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1177928 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Protestant churches|xMissions.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1079897 650 7 Protestant churches.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1079875 650 7 International relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/977053 651 0 United States|xForeign relations|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008003015 651 0 United States|xForeign relations|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140089 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 700 1 Reeves-Ellington, Barbara,|d1949-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2009158411 700 1 Sklar, Kathryn Kish.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n81127619 700 1 Shemo, Connie Anne.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2003145114 830 0 American encounters/global interactions.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n98014707 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 499276 994 C0|bRID
