Arguing that gender was as important a category in the story as race, Samson paints a complex picture of the interactions between missionaries and native peoples--and the ways in which perspectives shaped by those encounters have endured.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Samson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802875351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802875358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
