Empire religiosity

Empire Religiosity is the first volume of the Studies In Imperialism series. This historical and sociological study examines the role of Roman Catholic female missionaries within colonial and postcolonial India. The text analyzes how these women navigated the complexities of the Protestant raj and church patriarchies while providing medical care and educational outreach. It explores the intersection of race, gender, and religion, detailing how these missionaries operated from tribal villages to elite hilltop stations.

As a work of religious studies and political science, Empire Religiosity traces the evolution of missionary activism from the Great Revolt of 1857 through the post-independence era. The author connects these historical narratives to modern NGO philanthropy and current social justice debates. This volume provides a detailed reference on the lasting impact of Western-constructed activism and the enduring legacy of empire in Asia.
