Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

At the end of the 19th century, indigenous Christian elites in Asia and Africa increasingly began to articulate their own views in the colonial public sphere of their respective countries. They founded their own journals, criticized serious shortcomings in the colonial society and the missionary churches, were engaged in various social and political movements, and developed non-missionary interpretations of Christianity. The book presents the cumulative results of a research project which focuses on a comparative analysis of indigenous-Christian journals as a type of source material for the history of world Christianity that until now has been mostly neglected. A study of these journals provides unique new insights into processes of religious emancipation in Asia and Africa at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century.
