This book […] changes our general outlook on missionaries, casting new light on stereotypes that such individuals applied the same values of their home society in their work zones and that much of European Christian missionary work in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries focused on the “civilizing mission” - Loretta Kim, Albany-SUNY in: Itinerario 2009This book would be a great source to understand the concepts of gender role and self-making in missionary work for missionary candidates, seminary students, Christian workers, ministers and staff who work for missionary organizations.
