Description
The first Protestant mission was established in New Zealand in 1814, initiating complex political, cultural, and economic entanglements with MÄ?ori. Tony Ballantyne shows how interest in missionary Christianity among influential MÄ?ori chiefs had far-reaching consequences for both groups. Deftly reconstructing cross-cultural translations and struggles over such concepts and practices as civilization, work, time and space, and gender, he identifies the physical body as the most contentious site of cultural engagement, with MÄ?ori and missionaries struggling over hygiene, tattooing, clothing, and sexual morality. Entanglements of Empire is particularly concerned with how, as a result of their encounters in the classroom, chapel, kitchen, and farmyard, MÄ?ori and the English mutually influenced each otherâ?Ts worldviews. Concluding in 1840 with New Zealandâ?Ts formal colonization, this book offers an important contribution to debates over religion and empire.
