Christian Moderns Freedom And Fetish in the Mission Encounter

"Webb Keane's book demonstrates, once again, that nothing illuminates the puzzles of modernity as effectively as cross-cultural studies of colonial encounters. His careful, inter-disciplinary, and penetrating analysis of the semiotics of conversion to Dutch Calvinism in the Indonesian island of Sumba and his skillful blending of theological and anthropological issues will make this book a model for studies of religious conversion. It truly deserves a wide readership."--Dipesh Chakrabarty, author ofProvincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical DifferenceKeane, Webb is the author of 'Christian Moderns Freedom And Fetish in the Mission Encounter', published 2007 under ISBN 9780520246515 and ISBN 0520246519.
