Beschreibungen/Notizen
[...]the work was an edited volume with specific chapters on specific frontiers and summative analysis at the beginning and end. The uniting factor here is the missionary society’s understanding of conversion as a transnational and global frontier that divided the world neatly into Christian and “heathen.” The bibliographies by topic at the end of each chapter represent one of the great strengths of this book, providing an excellent reading list for people willing to explore the global history debate and methodologies. The convergences section, referencing Stephen Aron’s call for global history, identifies places around North America where different populations encountered one another, reminding the American reader that much of North America remained a contested set of contact zones, underscoring the illegitimacy of the overarching and dominant construct of Manifest Destiny.
