Elbourne suggests broader shifts in the relationship of missions to colonialism B as the British movement became less internationalist, more respectable, and more emblematic of the British imperial project B and shows that it is symptomatic that many Christian Khoekhoe ultimately rebelled against the colony. Missionaries across the white settler empire brokered bargains B rights in exchange for cultural change, for example B that brought Aboriginal peoples within the aegis of empire but, ultimately, were only partially and ambiguously fulfilled.McGill-Queen's studies in the history of religion.Series two ;19.Khoikhoi (African people)History19th centuryKhoikhoi (African people)MissionsMissions, BritishSouth AfricaCape of Good HopeHistory19th centuryKhoi-Khoi (Peuple d'Afrique)Histoire19e siècleMissions britanniquesAfrique du SudLe Cap (Province)Histoire19e siècleCape of Good Hope (South Africa)Politics and government1795-1872Cape of Good Hope (South Africa)History1795-1872Great BritainColoniesAfricaLe Cap (Afrique du Sud : Province)Politique et gouvernement1785-1872Le Cap (Afrique du Sud : Province)Histoire1795-1872Grande-BretagneColoniesAfriqueKhoikhoi (African people)HistoryKhoikhoi (African people)Missions.Missions, BritishHistoryKhoi-Khoi (Peuple d'Afrique)HistoireMissions britanniquesHistoire968.7/004961Elbourne Elizabeth1514921MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782073303321Blood ground3750397UNINA
