Communication and Conversion in Northern Cameroon: The Dii People and Norwegian Missionaries, 1934-1960: Studies in Christian Mission, cartea 37

Autor Tomas Sundnes Drønen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 aug 2009
Was modern Christian mission to Africa primarily a colonial project and a civilizing mission or was it a spiritual revival spreading to new areas? This book tells the tale of the Dii people in northern Cameroon and describes their encounter with Norwegian missionaries. Through archival studies and through fieldwork among the Dii, an intriguing scenario is presented. Whereas the missionaries describe their mission as one of spiritual liberation, and the Dii highligt the social liberation they received through literacy and political independence, the author shows how both spiritual and social changes were results of captivation, miscommunication and constant negotiations between the two parties.

Recenzii

"Dronen’s observations that in the ‘civilizing mission’ local cultural practices opposed to missionaries’ ideas persisted as African local preachers taught ‘the Gospel’ due to a lack of Norwegian missionaries are intriguing." José van Santen, Leiden University, in: Journal of Religion in Africa, Vol. 45 (2015)
