Recenzii
“An original and lucid contribution to the study of missionary Christianity in colonial Africa, Religious Entanglements compellingly demonstrates the influence of missionary forms of knowledge on Africanist anthropology, history, art history, and philosophy. Through nuanced, historical, and context-specific research, it also furthers our understanding of the emergence of African ethnicities and African Christianity. With eloquent and precise prose, Maxwell makes a stunning contribution. This is one of the most compelling accounts of mission Christianity and African society in colonial Africa in over two decades.”—David Gordon, Bowdoin College
“An enlightening study of Pentecostal missionary activities in Central Africa from the late 19th to mid-20thcentury. . . Brimming with nuance and acute historical detail, this makes clear that the Luba reception of such missionaries as Burton was an active process of fusion and exchange.”—Publishers Weekly
“Religious Entanglements makes a major contribution to both African studies and the history of missions, thanks to its multiple perspectives, its concern with both contexts and comparisons, its interdisciplinary approach (from anthropology to photography), and its careful distinctions between different group responses to the mission. A most impressive study.”—Peter Burke, Emeritus Professor of Cultural History, University of Cambridge
“A brilliant, capacious, field-defining book. Maxwell not only rewrites the history of evangelical Christianity in Central Africa; he also rethinks the nature and meaning of colonialism itself, illuminating the complex ‘entanglements’ through which Europeans and Africans co-created their worlds.”—James Campbell, Stanford University
“Much more than mission history and far more immediately relevant to scholars of contemporary religion than that initial characterisation might suggest. It is an illuminating background to studies of Pentecostal and other contemporary Christian and Africanist religious movements. . . . Perhaps its most original aspect is a subtle analysis not only of the role of missionaries but also of indigenous Africans both in the establishment of African Christianity and in the creation and distribution of the cultural knowledge on which much early anthropology rested. . . . Impressive.”—Journal of Contemporary Religion

“A seminal work that offers a unique and groundbreaking perspective. . . . A significant contribution to Pentecostal historiography in Africa.”
“Brilliantly illustrates the complexity of the relationships forged between the Luba Katanga and Congo Evangelistic Mission (CEM) leaders between roughly 1915 and 1960 in the Belgian Congo. . . . The construction of Luba Christianity as related by Maxwell was a dynamic, uneven process that merits wide reading.”
