Converting Women: Gender and Protestant Christianity in Colonial South India

Converting Women: Gender and Protestant Christianity in Colonial South India At the height of British colonialism, conversion to Christianity was a path to upward mobility for Indian low-castes and untouchables, especially in the Tamil-speaking south of India. Kent examines these conversions, focusing especially on the experience of women converts and the ways in which conversion transformed gender roles and expectations. Autor: Eliza F.
