Beschreibung

Missionary Impact explores the profound and multifaceted influence of 19th and 20th-century missions in Africa, examining their impact on education, healthcare, and religious conversion. Missionaries introduced Western medical practices, contributing to improved public health, while also inadvertently suppressing traditional healing methods. Mission schools became centers for disseminating knowledge, but also fostered cultural assimilation, producing a generation of educated Africans who later spearheaded independence movements. 

 
The book analyzes how these missions, operating within the context of colonialism, left a complex legacy that extends beyond religious conversion, altering social structures and political trajectories. It begins by establishing the historical context, then delves into education and healthcare, before scrutinizing religious conversion and its consequences. The book navigates the dynamics of religious conversion, analyzing the adoption of Christianity and the resulting tensions with indigenous belief systems.

 
Ultimately, the book argues that missionary activities, though often driven by good intentions, had contradictory and far-reaching effects, giving rise to African nationalism and reshaping cultural identities. By drawing on archival research and ethnographic studies, Missionary Impact offers a nuanced perspective, making it valuable for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of African history and the legacies of colonialism.

True to You - A Therapist's...

Kathleen Smith

A Guide to the Theory and Practice of Creating Authentic RelationshipsWhen’s the last time you felt as composed as you portray to your boss, family and friends? If there’s a discord between the two, you’re not alone. Humans are master pretenders—we often seem stronger, calmer and more mature than we really are, while the truth is we’re full of doubts and self-criticism that pushes us to borrow reassurance from friends, beliefs from strangers on the internet, or attention that, in the moment, makes us feel successful, but leaves us totally hollow and burnt out. True to You is a relatable self-help guide for people who want to learn to live less focused on others’ reactions and more confidently by their own principles. Readers will learn how to: · Interrupt relationship patterns that keep you stuck. · Rely less on praise and approval from others. · Develop a solid sense of self in anxious times. · Build more authentic and rewarding relationships. Dr. Smith uses examples from the lives of her therapy clients to explain how we borrow confidence, calmness, and beliefs from our relationships and offers actionable steps and exercises for building a life with your own best-thinking. With a healthy dose of humor, she unpacks the science of our social nature, explaining why we try so hard to be what others want us to be and how we can start living from the inside out. By learning how to be more responsible for yourself, rather than over-responsible for everyone else, you can find the freedom to develop richer relationships, pursue what’s important to you, and feel steadier in this very anxious world.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials.

The Three Colors of Complicity

Jemar Tisby

Compromise has three colors. 
The American church has a history of creating and maintaining racist ideas and practices. This audio original recording from NYT bestselling author Jemar Tisby is based on the themes introduced in The Color of Compromise but goes a step further, showing how compromise has three distinct colors: green, white, and red. Green represents the greed than accompanies support of racism. It is white, representing the white supremacy that views white people as inherently superior to other skin colors. And it is red, representing the blood that has been spilled--and continues to be shed--to fight against racism. Tisby offers a powerful challenge to avoid complicity with racism by taking a bold stand for racial justice, starting today.
