Webinar: "Voices from the Archives: Indian Bible Women in Colonial Times"
A new look at the testimonies of indigenous "Bible women" (catechists) in India as key players in the Basel mission at the end of the 19th century. How did they manage to walk the tightrope between indigenous and European ideals of femininity? How did they move between the hierarchic caste system and Christian lifestyles? What kind of emancipation was possible in India at the time of the British Empire?
Sandra Langhop provides insight into her research on Indian (and European) women missionaries in South India in the 19th and 20th centuries, who crossed borders between cultures, genders and social hierarchies.
Talk and discussion in German, translation in English
