About this book
Reviews
“Tjelle study is a vital and innovative component of wider historical studies of the relationship between religious belief and masculinity. ... Missionary masculinity is an important, fascinating and innovating contribution to the field of historical masculinity ... .” (Catherine Jamieson, Theology & Sexuality, Vol. 21 (2), 2016)
“Kristin Fjelde Tjelle makes a significant contribution to what is still a relatively new approach to the history of the foreign mission movement of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. … will be most useful to Africanist readers with a prior understanding of southern African history and/or the history of missions during the period under study. … Missionary Masculinity’s theoretical groundings and transnational perspective will offer significant insights into important historical questions and suggest multiple avenues for further research.” (Sara C. Jorgensen, African Studies Quarterly, Vol. 16 (1), December, 2015)
