Missionary Masculinity, 1870–1930 [electronic resource] : The Norwegian Missionaries in South-East Africa /
Tjelle, Kristin Fjelde.author.
What kind of men were missionaries? What kind of masculinity did they represent, in ideology as well as in practice? Presupposing masculinity to be a cluster of cultural ideas and social practices that change over time and space, and not a stable entity with a natural, inherent meaning, Kristin Fjelde Tjelle seeks to answer such questions.
