America's burgeoning power, combined with women's rising roles within thechurch, led to white Protestant women adopting a feminism rooted in religion and imperialism.Gale L. Kenny examines this Christian imperial feminism from the women's missionary movement tocreate a Christian world order. She shows that this Christian imperial feminism marked a break from anearlier Protestant world view that focused on moral and racial purity and in which interactions amongraces were inconceivable. This new approach actually prioritized issues like civil rights and racialintegration, as well as the uplift of women, though the racially diverse world Christianity it aspired towas still to be rigidly hierarchically ordered, with white women retaining a privileged place as guardians.In exposing these dynamics, this book departs from recent scholarship on white evangelical nationalismto focus on the racial politics of white religious liberalism. Christian Imperial Feminism adds a necessarylayer to our understanding of religion, gender, and empire. 001492726 650_6 $$aChrétiennes$$xActivité politique$$zÉtats-Unis. 001492726 650_6 $$aChristianisme et politique$$zÉtats-Unis. 001492726 650_0 $$aChristian women$$xPolitical activity$$zUnited States. 001492726 650_0 $$aChristian women$$xReligious life$$zUnited States. 001492726 650_0 $$aChristianity and politics$$zUnited States.$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century$$0(DLC)sh2009119581 001492726 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001492726 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKenny, Gale L.$$tChristian Imperial Feminism$$dNew York : New York University Press,c2024$$z9781479825516 001492726 830_0 $$aNorth American religions. 001492726 852__ $$bebk 001492726 85640 $$3De Gruyter Online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://www.degruyter.com/openurl?genre=book&isbn=9781479825554$$zOnline Access$$91476733.1 001492726 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1492726$$pGLOBAL_SET 001492726 980__ $$aEBOOK 001492726 980__ $$aBIB 001492726 982__ $$aEbook 001492726 983__ $$aOnline 001492726 994__ $$a92$$bISE
