{"product_id":"entanglements-of-empire-tony-ballantyne-9780822358268","title":"Entanglements of Empire: Missionaries, Maori, and the Question of the Body","description":"The first Protestant mission was established in New Zealand in 1814, initiating complex political, cultural, and economic entanglements with Māori. Tony Ballantyne shows how interest in missionary Christianity among influential Māori 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 Māori and missionaries struggling over hygiene, tattooing, clothing, and sexual morality. \u003ci\u003eEntanglements of Empire\u003c\/i\u003e is particularly concerned with how, as a result of their encounters in the classroom, chapel, kitchen, and farmyard, Māori and the English mutually influenced each other's worldviews. Concluding in 1840 with New Zealand's formal colonization, this book offers an important contribution to debates over religion and empire. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Ballantyne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822358263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822358268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Tony Ballantyne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947353243903,"sku":"9780822358268","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bd55c289-3246-48ee-bc6f-1d99a650bf34.jpg?v=1681518221","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/entanglements-of-empire-tony-ballantyne-9780822358268","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
