Book Synopsis Tradition and Christianity by : Ben Burt
Download or read book Tradition and Christianity written by Ben Burt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burt studies the effects of the 19th century labour trade, colonial subjugation and the subsequent Christian conversion. He examines the anti-colonial Maasina Rule movement of the 1940s and finally illustrates the subsequent efforts of Kwara'ae leaders to regain their self-determination and to reaffirm the values of "tradition" under Christianity. The Kwara'ae example of colonialism and Christianity is part of the broader experience of Melanesia and of other peoples in the Third World who once lived a tribal life. The detailed local focus, based on a year of fieldwork, provides valuable evidence essential to a wider comparative analysis of colonial history and the continuing development of indigenous Christianity from an anthropological and a historical perspective. Tradition and Christianity explores how and why a Pacific Islands people, fiercely attached to the tradition of their ancestors, have transformed their society by changing their religion.

Book Synopsis Christianity and Animism in Melanesia by : Kenneth Nehrbass
Download or read book Christianity and Animism in Melanesia written by Kenneth Nehrbass and published by William Carey Library Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Kenneth Nehrbass examines the interaction between traditional or animistic religion (called kastom) and Christianity in Vanuatu. First, he briefly outlines major anthropological theories of animism, then he examines eight aspects of animism on Tanna Island and shows how they present a challenge to Christianity. He traces the history of Christianity on Tanna from 1839 to the present, showing which missiological theories the various missionaries were implementing. Nehrbass wanted to find out what experiences in the lives of the islanders distinguished those who left traditional religion behind from those who held on to it. In the end, he contends that there are twenty factors of gospel response and cultural integration that determine whether an animistic background believer will be a mixer, separator, transplanter, or contextualizer.

Book Synopsis Identity Through History by : Geoffrey M. White
Download or read book Identity Through History written by Geoffrey M. White and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For people who live in small communities transformed by powerful outside forces, narrative accounts of culture contact and change create images of collective identity through the idiom of shared history. How may we understand the processes that make such accounts compelling for those who tell them? Why do some narratives acquire a kind of mythic status as they are told and retold in a variety of contexts and genres? Identity Through History attempts to explain how identity formation developed among the people of Santa Isabel in the Solomon Islands who were victimised by raiding headhunters in the nineteenth century, and then embraced Christianity around the turn of the century. Making innovative use of work in psychological and historical anthropology, Geoffrey White shows how these significant events were crucial to the community's view of itself in shifting social and political circumstances.

Book Synopsis From Scholar to Teacher by : Rita Pama Sahu
Download or read book From Scholar to Teacher written by Rita Pama Sahu and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anglican Church of Melanesia is a thriving body today, consisting of Christians from New Caledonia, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Growing up in the Anglican Church in Solomon Islands during the 1990s, I learned the stories of European missionaries, whose work through the Melanesian Mission, founded in 1849, contributed to the establishment of the Anglican Church of Melanesia. Christianity, however, within the Pacific region, is the creation of both Western and Indigenous contributions. So far, it has been more the Western contribution than the Indigenous contribution that Solomon Islanders have been aware of. My research seeks to promote the knowledge of Indigenous missionaries, that their stories may be widely known and appreciated in Solomon Islands, just like those of European missionaries. I focus on the contributions of four Solomon Islanders, scholars turned teacher missionaries; Hugo Gorovaka from Guadalcanal, Benjamin Teilo from Reef Islands, Paul Marita from Ulawa and James Uqe from Malaita. I gathered information from published works related to the Melanesian Mission, Pacific Indigenous missionaries and the Anglican Church in general, as well as extracting specific information on the four teacher missionaries from archival sources and "reading through" them, interpreting aspects of their lives that may have been implicit or latent in the archive, in order to convey something of their circumstances and understandings as they laid the foundations for the everyday Christian culture of the Solomon Islands. Michel-Rolf Trouillot (1995: 3-4) suggests that history is always characterized by discrepancies and tensions between 'what happened' and 'what is said to have happened'. Archival sources hold a lot of 'what is said to have happened', providing versions of past events or the materials upon which historians produce versions of those events. But all versions privilege some events or understandings of events over others. One can sieve through these versions in order to find out one's own sense of 'what happened', which is another version, another focus: in this case, the contributions of Indigenous missionaries. The establishment and the ongoing work of the Melanesian Mission would not have been possible without Indigenous missionaries who so often willingly gave themselves to the work of the mission. The contributions of such men and women need to be told, their stories not forgotten, and their memories honoured.
Download or read book Making Mala written by Clive Moore and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2017-04-10 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malaita is one of the major islands in the Solomons Archipelago and has the largest population in the Solomon Islands nation. Its people have an undeserved reputation for conservatism and aggression. Making Mala argues that in essence Malaitans are no different from other Solomon Islanders, and that their dominance, both in numbers and their place in the modern nation, can be explained through their recent history. A grounding theme of the book is its argument that, far than being conservative, Malaitan religions and cultures have always been adaptable and have proved remarkably flexible in accommodating change. This has been the secret of Malaitan success. Malaitans rocked the foundations of the British protectorate during the protonationalist Maasina Rule movement in the 1940s and the early 1950s, have heavily engaged in internal migration, particularly to urban areas, and were central to the ‘Tension Years’ between 1998 and 2003. Making Mala reassesses Malaita’s history, demolishes undeserved tropes and uses historical and cultural analyses to explain Malaitans’ place in the Solomon Islands nation today.
