First
volume in the series ‘Leuven Studies in Mission and Modernity’
Missionaries have been subject to academic and
societal debate. Some scholars highlight their contribution to the spread of
modernity and development among local societies, whereas others question their
motives and emphasise their inseparable connection with colonialism. In this
volume, fifteen authors – from both Europe and the Global South – address these
often polemical positions by focusing on education, one of the most prominent
fields in which missionaries have been active. They elaborate on Protestantism
as well as Catholicism, work with cases from the 18th to the 21st century, and
cover different colonial empires in Asia and Africa. The volume introduces new
angles, such as gender, the agency of the local population, and the perspective
of the child.
