America's burgeoning power, combined with women's rising roles within the\u003cbr\u003e church, led to white Protestant women adopting a feminism rooted in religion and imperialism.\u003cbr\u003e Gale L. Kenny examines this Christian imperial feminism from the women's missionary movement to\u003cbr\u003e create a Christian world order. She shows that this Christian imperial feminism marked a break from an\u003cbr\u003e earlier Protestant world view that focused on moral and racial purity and in which interactions among\u003cbr\u003e races were inconceivable. This new approach actually prioritized issues like civil rights and racial\u003cbr\u003e integration, as well as the uplift of women, though the racially diverse world Christianity it aspired to\u003cbr\u003e was still to be rigidly hierarchically ordered, with white women retaining a privileged place as guardians.\u003cbr\u003e In exposing these dynamics, this book departs from recent scholarship on white evangelical nationalism\u003cbr\u003e to focus on the racial politics of white religious liberalism. Christian Imperial Feminism adds a necessary\u003cbr\u003e layer to our understanding of religion, gender, and empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41607384203361,"sku":"9781479825530","price":28.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_34733127.jpg?v=1749675599","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781479825530-christian-imperial-feminism-white-protestant-women-and-the-consecration-of-empire","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
