Panel 71: The worlds missionaries made? (Silke Strickrodt)

Panel Organiser: Silke Strickrodt

Chair: Patrick Harries
Discussant: Deborah Gaitskell

With this panel we wish to reflect upon the convergence of different and not-so different divisions of work and notions of recreation resulting from cultural contact in colonial Africa in the missionary context; the palimpsest of meanings particular spaces assumed for men, women and children in their affiliations with and oppositions to mission.

Panelists:
