Key themes that emerge are the explanatory power of intimate relations and gender; day-to-day interactions between missionaries, indigenous groups, and other groups of people; the role of indigenous Christians in the spread of faith and the creation of religious communities; and the socio-political and geographic contexts of missions in the British Empire. Examples of specific topics include missionaries and interracial intimacy in early New Zealand; missionaries and imperial manhood in Canada from 1880 to 1920; missionaries, islanders, and the reduction of language in the Pacific; missionary anthropologists and their informants; and missionaries, Africans, and the state in the development of education in colonial Natal, 1.
