This book delves into the captivating history of a region once known as Nuevas Filipinas, later christened Texas, offering a meticulously researched exploration of its early years as a Mexican province. The author skillfully intertwines the narratives of Spanish expeditions and French incursions, painting a vivid picture of the intricate dance of exploration, colonization, and missionary zeal that shaped the region's destiny. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of broader Spanish-American colonization efforts, highlighting the unique position of Texas and the motives that spurred its acquisition. Readers will embark on a journey through time, tracing the footsteps of intrepid explorers like Alonso de Leon and Domingo Teran de los Rios as they ventured into uncharted territories, encountering diverse indigenous populations and navigating the complexities of intercultural interactions. At the heart of this historical tapestry lies the intricate relationship between the Spanish and the native inhabitants. The author delves into the establishment of missions, such as the isolated San Francisco de los Tejas, and the challenges faced by Franciscan friars in their quest to convert the indigenous peoples. The book sheds light on the delicate balance between religious conviction, cultural assimilation, and the ever-present need for military protection in this frontier land. This meticulously crafted work provides valuable insights into the formative years of Texas, revealing the motivations, struggles, and triumphs that laid the foundation for its unique identity.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume, bringing together work by scholars from Europe, East Asia, North America, and West Africa, investigates transnational religious spaces in a comparative manner by juxtaposing East Asian and African examples. It highlights flows of ideas, actors, and organizations out of, into, or within a given continental space. These flows are patterned mainly by colonialism or migration. The book also examines cases where the transnational space in question encompasses both East Asia and Africa, notably in the development of Japanese new religions in Africa. Most of the studies are located in the present; a few go back to the late nineteenth century. The volume is rounded off by Thomas Tweed's systematic reflections on categories for the study of transnationalism; his chapter 'Flows and Dams' critically weighs the metaphorical language we use to think, speak, and write about transnational religious spaces.

Hardback. Condition: New. Scholarly interest in print culture and in the study of religion in modern China has increased in recent years, propelled by maturing approaches to the study of cultural history and by a growing recognition that both were important elements of China's recent past. The influence of China in the contemporary world continues to expand, and with it has come an urgent need to understand the processes by which its modern history was made. Issues of religious freedom and of religion's influence on the public sphere continue to be contentious but important subjects of scholarly work, and the role of print and textual media has not dimmed with the advent of electronic communication. This book, Religious Publishing and Print Culture in Modern China 1800-2012, speaks to these contemporary and historical issues by bringing to light the important and abiding connections between religious development and modern print culture in China. Bringing together these two subjects has a great deal of potential for producing insights that will appeal to scholars working in a range of fields, from media studies to social historians. Each chapter demonstrates how focusing on the role of publishing among religious groups in modern China generates new insights and raises new questions. They examine how religious actors understood the role of printed texts in religion, dealt with issues of translation and exegesis, produced print media that heralded social and ideological changes, and expressed new self-understandings in their published works. They also address the impact of new technologies, such as mechanized movable type and lithographic presses, in the production and meaning of religious texts. Finally, the chapters identify where religious print culture crossed confessional lines, connecting religious traditions through links of shared textual genres, commercial publishing companies, and the contributions of individual editors and authors. This book thus demonstrates how, in embracing modern print media and building upon their longstanding traditional print cultures, Christian, Buddhist, Daoist, and popular religious groups were developed and defined in modern China. While the chapter authors are specialists in religious traditions, they have made use of recent studies into publishing and print culture, and like many of the subjects of their research, are able to make connections across religious boundaries and link together seemingly discrete traditions.
