Beyond the Legacy of the Missionaries and East Indians: The Impact of the Presbyterian Church in the Caribbean de Jerome Teelucksingh

Beyond the Legacy of the Missionaries and East Indians: The Impact of the Presbyterian Church in the Caribbean: Caribbean Series, cartea 36

Autor Jerome Teelucksingh
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 dec 2019
In Beyond the Legacy of the Missionaries and East Indians, Jerome Teelucksingh offers a revisionist perspective of the role of the Presbyterian Church in Trinidad. He is particularly interested in social mobility as regards the Indo-Caribbean diaspora in the era following the First World War. He argues that the Presbyterian Church in the Caribbean was particularly interested in women’s rights. As such, he examines the dynamic between local expertise and Canadian missionary work in such social uplift processes.

Recenzii

"Teelucksingh must be commended for bringing attention to the investments, challenges, and achievements of the Presbyterian mission among Trinidad Indians. The book deserves a place in the historiography of Caribbean Indians and will be useful to researchers, instructors, and students who are interested in how a Canadian Christian religious mission has been successful in transforming the lives of an immigrant group in Trinidad."
