This slim volume demonstrates the importance of considering the 'losing' side in historical conflicts." -- The Journal of American History Informationen zum Autor Jennifer Snow Zusammenfassung This book examines how in defending Asian rights and their own version of Christian idealism against scientific racism, missionaries developed a complex theology of race that prefigured modern ideologies of multiculturalism and reached its final, belated culmination in the liberal Protestant support of the civil rights movements in the 1960s.
