内容説明
The Realm of the Word is the first study of mission Christianity in colonial southern Africa to treat religion and society as a coherent whole. While previous works have concentrated on the interactions of European missionaries and Africans, Landau shifts the focus to African evangelists, schoolchildren, cattle barons, healers, miscreants, political rebels, and, most of all, Christian women. Drawing as much as possible on the words of Tswana contemporaries, his sources include oral traditions and reminiscences, court reports, and royal and ecclesiastic correspondence in SeTswana, as well as government and missionary archives. The ideologies and practices of Christianity emerge as inseparable from a kingdom's construction of power in central Botswana--a realm of the Word, premised not on Western hegemony, but instead on Tswana self-rule.

内容説明
This grassroots history of mission Christianity in colonial southern Africa treats religion and society as a coherent whole. It shifts the focus away from European missionaries and African Christians, and on to African evangelists, schoolchildren, healers and - most of all - Christian women. The ideologies and practices of Christianity emerge as inseparable from a kingdom's construction of power in central Botswana - a realm of the word premised, not on western hegemony, but instead on Tswana self-rule.
目次
- Part One The centre of the kingdom: Kharma III and the word of God
- missionary labours - the struggle to master the church
- how the meaning of Thuto changed - status, literacy, cattle and nationalism. Part Two The periphery of the realm of the word: the body of Christians
- medicine, extraction and prayer
- the way, the truth and the light - how Christians spread the word
- interference in matters of belief - rape, closed spaces and colonial complicity
- the masters of the cattle are absent
- citizenship, identity and power in the village
- a realm of the word - conclusion and epilogue.
