Aggiungi al carrelloAmerican Protestant mission photo archive depicting schools, Western and African Christian workers, in Portuguese Angola, 1912 to 1914, recording the local life, missionary presence,and infrastructure extending Western religious and educational authority. Dated inscriptions identify "missionaries and native workers" in 1912 and…a "boys school" in 1914, while another photograph is captioned "At the Quanza," the historical English spelling of Angola's Kwanza River. Protestant missions had operated in Angola since the late nineteenth century, establishing schools, training African evangelists and teachers, and creating networks that could compete with Portuguese colonial institutions for influence over language, education, and community allegiance. We believe the se are American Protestant missionaries because the language of the captions itself sounds North American. One phrase especially stands out: "Our force" That wording was commonly used by North American Protestant missionaries to describe their combined European and African staff. British missionaries more often wrote "our staff," "our workers," or "the mission staff." Likewise, the informal captions ("Hopefuls," "Sit down, rest a while") resemble private North American missionary albums more than official British mission records. Photo archive of 27 photographs, seven silver gelatin and and twenty laser-printed photographs all large format ranging from 7 x 5 to 7 x 4 inches, Portuguese Angola, circa 1912 to 1914. Formal portraits show European missionaries with Angolan personnel before stuccoed mission buildings, including a large group captioned "Missionaries and native workers, 1912" and a smaller portrait captioned "Our force 1912." School photographs depict boys, girls, and younger children arranged in rows with European instructors; one verso reads "Boys school 1914," while an individual portrait of two neatly dressed boys is titled "Hopefuls." Mission compounds include long veranda buildings, fenced grounds, thatched dwellings, tents, cooking equipment, folding furniture, and temporary encampments occupied by missionaries and local residents. Several photographs record travel and subsistence away from the station: missionaries pose beside rapids captioned "At the Quanza," rest in wooded country, prepare meals outside canvas tents, exchange food or supplies with African residents, and occupy a mixed camp of tents and thatched structures. Other images show a fruiting orange grove, men and women gathering fruit, a landscape identified as "The lumbermen's camp," mission residents seated among dense vegetation, river scenery, village buildings, and African children and adults photographed at schools, settlements, and work sites. Verso captions also include "Down for the night" and "Sit down, rest a while," language that frames travel, camp life, and mission expansion through the photographer's informal record of daily activity. Portuguese rule in Angola remained uneven in the early twentieth century, particularly beyond coastal administrative centers, and mission stations often supplied education, printing, agricultural instruction, medical care, and religious training where the colonial state maintained little permanent infrastructure. Schools were central to this expansion. Literacy and teacher training enabled missionaries to circulate Christian texts, while African instructors and evangelists carried teaching and worship into communities that European personnel could not reach directly. The photographs expose the racial hierarchy of this arrangement through clothing, spatial placement, and captioning: European missionaries are named collectively as the directing body, while Angolan colleagues are reduced to categories such as "native workers," even when formal group portraits present them as teachers, clergy, assistants, or institutional staff. Agricultural scenes, the lumber camp, mission residences, school groups, and mobile tent sites further demonstrate how evangelization depended upon land, food production, transport, construction, and locally recruited labor rather than preaching alone. Protestant educational networks later produced generations of Angolan teachers, clergy, writers, and political organizers, while Portuguese authorities repeatedly regarded independent mission schooling and African language literacy as potential challenges to colonial control. Light surface wear, occasional creasing and fading, scattered stains, and adhesive or paper residue on several versos; captions remain legible. Overall in good condition.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This book opens a new and timely conversation between the study of religion and infrastructure studies through the innovative concept of religious infrastructure. Bringing together eight empirically grounded chapters by a multidisciplinary group of scholars, it explores diverse settings acr…oss Ghana, India, Madagascar, Nigeria, Russia, Serbia, and Tanzania. Within these contexts, the contributors examine an array of religiously marked arrangements and operationsfrom radio towers and social media algorithms to residential compounds and monasteries.Across these cases, the book demonstrates how such configurations actively support, depend upon, and mutually transform wider landscapes of human action and relation. By moving fluidly across diverse traditions, it brings into focus dynamics that cut across religious boundaries, uncovers unexpected entanglements between religious and secular domains, and highlights forms of religious action that exceed the mediation of transcendent encounter.The result is a compelling and original demonstration of the empirical possibilities and analytical productivity of thinking infrastructurally about religion, and religiously about infrastructureenriching both fields in the process.This book is ideal for scholars, researchers, and students in the fields of religious studies, anthropology, sociology, and infrastructure studies. It will also appeal to those interested in interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the intersections of religion, technology, and social organization.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Religion, State & Society. This book opens a new and timely conversation between the study of religion and infrastructure studies through the innovative concept of religious infrastructure. Eight empirically grounded chapters by a multidisciplinary group of scholars, it explores diverse settings across Ghana, India, Madagascar, Nigeria, Russia, Serbia, and Tanzania.
