Education in the British Empire, 1830-1910
by Felicity Jensz
Many missionary societies established mission schools in the nineteenth century in the British Empire as a means to convert non-Europeans to Christianity. Although the details, differed in various colonial contexts, the driving ideology behind mission schools was that Christian morality was highest form of civilisation needed for non-Europeans to be useful members of colonies under British rule. This comprehensive survey of multi-colonial sites over the long time span clearly describes the missionary paradox that to draw in pupils they needed to provide secular education, but that secular education was seen to lead both to a moral crisis and to anti-British sentiments.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017Conflict, Politics and Proselytism
Methodist missionaries in colonial and postcolonial Burma, 1887–1966
by Andrew Thompson, Michael D. Leigh, John M. MacKenzie
This book is a study of the ambitions, activities and achievements of Methodist missionaries in northern Burma from 1887-1966 and the expulsion of the last missionaries by Ne Win. The story is told through painstaking original research in archives which contain thousands of hitherto unpublished documents and eyewitness accounts meticulously recorded by the Methodist missionaries. This accessible study constitutes a significant contribution to a very little-known area of missionary history. Leigh pulls together the themes of conflict, politics and proselytisation in to a fascinating study of great breadth. The historical nuances of the relationship between religion and governance in Burma are traced in an accessible style. This book will appeal to those teaching or studying colonial and postcolonial history, Burmese politics, and the history of missionary work.

Die Mission der Gesundheitserziehung Hadassah
by Prof. Schifra Shvarts und Dr. Zipora Shehory-Rubin mit Prof. Yoel Donchin
Die Mission der Gesundheitserziehung Hadassah: Die amerikanischen zionistischen Frauen im Heiligen Land von Prof. Schifra Shvarts und Dr. Zipora Shehory-Rubin mit Prof. Yoel Donchin Die Buch Hadassah behandelt die Themen Frauen, Gesundheit und Zionismus. Das Buch konzentriert sich hauptsächlich auf das einzigartige Bestreben der Mitglieder der Hadassah Women's Organisation, die es als ihre Aufgabe ansahen, auf der Grundlage ihrer amerikanischen Erfahrungen im Bereich moderne öffentliche Gesundheitsdienste für die jüdische Gemeinde in Palästina unter britischer Herrschaft ein Gesundheitswesen aufzubauen. In diesen ersten zehn Jahren erhielten 46.000 schwangere Frauen und 53.000 Kinder Hilfe durch dieses Gesundheitssystem, Krankenschwestern erledigten 700.000 Hausbesuche, und die 44 Mütter- und Säuglingsstationen, die flächendeckend ihre Dienste bereitstellten, wurden 1,7 Millionen Mal besucht. Dank dieser Dienste sank die Kindersterblichkeit in der jüdischen Gemeinde signifikant von 144 pro 1000 im Jahre 1922 auf 54 pro 1000 im Jaher 1939 (im Vergleich zu 50 pro 1000 in den USA und 53 pro 1000 in Großbritannien). Kein anderer vergleichbarer Dienst hat in so kurzer Zeit so bemerkenswerte Ergebnisse erzielt. Alle öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienste unter dem Dach der Hadassah waren für alle Menschen gleichermaßen zugänglich, einschließlich der arabischen Bevölkerung. Die Mission wurde hauptsächlich von der zionistischen Ideologie des Aufbaus einer neuen, körperlich und geistig gesunden Nation getragen. Der öffentliche Gesundheitsauftrag dieser amerikanischen Frauen war ein integraler Bestandteil des zionistischen Engagements zu diesem Zeitpunkt. Doch im Gegensatz zu anderen Bereichen der zionistischen Tätigkeit in Palästina während dieser Zeit wurde die Organisation ausschließlich von Frauen getragen. Dieses Buch ist die Geschichte dieser engagierten amerikanischen zionistischen Frauen und ihrer bemerkenswerten Leistungen und Beiträge für die Gesundheit der jüdischen Gemeinde in Palästina in der Frühzeit des Aufbaus des Landes. Das Buch Hadassah enthält Original-Bilder, die vor ein paar Jahren in einem der alten Hadassah-Lagerräume in Jerusalem von Prof. Yoel Donchin entdeckt wurden und derzeit in einer Sonderausstellung im Jerusalem Theater gezeigt werden. Über die Autoren Schifra Shvarts, Ph.D., ist außerordentliche Professorin für Geschichte der Medizin an der Ben-Gurion-Universität und wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Gertner-Institut für Epidemiologie und Health Policy Research, Sheba Medical Center. Sie ist spezialisiert auf die soziale Geschichte der Medizin und der öffentlichen Gesundheit vom neunzehnten zum zwanzigsten Jahrhundert in Israel. Sie hat sechs Bücher über die Entwicklung und Geschichte des israelischen Gesundheitswesens veröffentlicht. Sie ist auch die Autorin der israelischen HMO-Indizes in der israelischen Medical Encyclopedia und der Encyclopedia Judaica. Zipora Shehory-Rubin, Ph.D., ist Senior Lecturer am Kaye Academic College of Education in Beer-Sheva, Israel, wo sie die Geschichte der Pädagogik und die hebräische Sprache lehrt. Sie erhielt ihr Ph.D. in Geschichte auf der Ben-Gurion-University des Negev, nachdem sie Ihre Dissertation über die erzieherischen und Gesundheitsaktivitäten der Hassadah in Palästina unter britischem Mandat abgeschlossen hatte. Ihre Publikationen umfassen Bücher und Artikel über verschiedene Aspekte der Geschichte der Bildung und der Geschichte der Medizin. Prof. Yoel Donchin, MD, ist ein klinischer Professor für Anästhesie und Intensivmedizin am Hadassah Medical Center, Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Nach Absolvieren der Hadassah Medical School begann er für Hadassah zu arbeiten, wo er ist jetzt Leiter des Patient Safety Center ist. Er rettete und archivierte mehr als 1.000 Fotografien und Filme aus den frühen Jahren der Hadassah. Zurzeit ist er Präsident der Israelischen Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Medizin. Eine E-Book-Ausgabe für Amazon Kindle, Apple i-Pad und andere Formate wurde im Sommer 2011 von SWS, Inc., CA, herausgegeben geplant.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2010The Society for Irish Church Missions to the Roman Catholics, 1849–1950
by Miriam Moffitt
This work details traces the origins, development and impact of the proselytizing organization, the Society for Irish Church Missions to the Roman Catholics, from its Protestant foundation during the famine of 1845-47 to the early decades of Irish Free State. It argues that the foundation of this ostensibly religious society was also underpinned by social, political, and economic factors and demonstrates that by the mid 1850s the mission operated on a very substantial scale. Moffitt examines the mission's role in the shifting political realities of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The impact of this inter-faith power struggle and its legacy to the present day are explored by examining contemporary sources, folklore evidence, and the depiction of proselytizing missions in both Catholic and Protestant denomination literature and fictional writings. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Missionaries and their medicine
A Christian modernity for tribal India
by David Hardiman, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
Missionaries and their medicine is a lucid and enthralling study of the encounter between Christian missionaries and an Indian tribal community, the Bhils, in the period 1880 to 1964. The study is informed by a deep knowledge of the people amongst whom the missionaries worked, the author having lived for extensive periods in the tribal tracts of western India. He argues that the Bhils were never the passive objects of missionary attention and that they created for themselves their own form of 'Christian modernity.' The book provides a major intervention in the history of colonial medicine, as Hardiman argues that missionary medicine had a specific quality of its own - which he describes and analyses in detail - and that in most cases it was preferred to the medicine of colonial states. He also examines the period of transition to Indian independence, which was a highly fraught and uncertain process for the missionaries.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017Welsh missionaries and British imperialism
The Empire of Clouds in north-east India
by Andrew May
In 1841, the Welsh sent their first missionary, Thomas Jones, to evangelise the tribal peoples of the Khasi Hills of north-east India. This book follows Jones from rural Wales to Cherrapunji, the wettest place on earth and now one of the most Christianised parts of India. As colonised colonisers, the Welsh were to have a profound impact on the culture and beliefs of the Khasis. The book also foregrounds broader political, scientific, racial and military ideologies that mobilised the Khasi Hills into an interconnected network of imperial control. Its themes are universal: crises of authority, the loneliness of geographical isolation, sexual scandal, greed and exploitation, personal and institutional dogma, individual and group morality. Written by a direct descendant of Thomas Jones, it makes a significant contribution in orienting the scholarship of imperialism to a much-neglected corner of India, and will appeal to students of the British imperial experience more broadly.

Crime & mystery2017Echo of Someone Else’s War
by Juan Miramar
The works of Juan Miramar presented in this book, as always, are distinguished by refined language, subtle humor and a peculiar philosophical view of life, as well as a bright oriental flavor. The story "Echo of Someone Else’s War" impresses with its fascinating dynamic plot. A scientist and writer, a former translator of international peacekeeping forces, suddenly finds himself in the thick of events of a modern secret war. The distant past extends its tentacles into the present, not only forcing the main character to remember his military experience, but also prompting him to choose a side in Arab and non-Arab conflicts that are foreign to him.

Humanities & Social SciencesDecember 2023Transitional justice in process
Plans and politics in Tunisia
by Mariam Salehi
After the fall of the Ben Ali regime in 2011, Tunisia swiftly began dealing with its authoritarian past and initiated a comprehensive transitional justice process, with the Truth and Dignity Commission as its central institution. However, instead of bringing about peace and justice, transitional justice soon became an arena of contention. Through a process lens, the book explores why and how the process evolved, and explains how it relates to the country's political transition. Based on extensive field research in Tunisia and the US, and interviews with a broad range of international stakeholders and decision-makers, this is the first book to comprehensively study the Tunisian transitional justice process. It provides an in-depth analysis of a crucial period, examining the role of justice professionals in different stages, as well as the alliances and frictions between different actor groups that cut across the often-assumed local-international divide.
