Abstract

During European colonial times in Africa and elsewhere, missionary education was an integral part of the colonial instruments for political domination, economic exploitation, and cultural assimilation. This paper aims to investigate the process of making colonial subjects through missionary education that was mainly provided by Catholic and Evangelical mission schools during the Italian colonial period in Eritrea. The paper argues that the Catholic and Evangelical mission schools distinctively worked to achieve their separate objectives that can be explained as employment versus salvation, teaching versus preaching, flag versus Bible, and hands versus soul, respectively. While the Catholic mission school focused on training the hand in order to supply labour, the Evangelical mission school stressed harvesting the soul to cultivate a docile labour force. Despite their differences, the works of the Catholic and Evangelical mission schools placed much emphasis on and exerted much effort to producing a class of colonial subjects that could serve as brokers of power.
教学与传道
在非洲和其他地区的欧洲殖民时期,传教士教育是政治统治、经济剥削和文化同化等殖民手段的组成部分。本文旨在研究厄立特里亚意大利殖民时期主要由天主教和福音派传教士学校提供的传教教育对殖民主体的塑造过程。本文认为,天主教传教士学校和福音传教士学校分别致力于实现各自的目标,这些目标可分别解释为就业与救赎、教学与布道、旗帜与圣经、双手与灵魂。天主教传教士学校侧重于训练手,以提供劳动力,而福音派传教士学校则强调收获灵魂,以培养温顺的劳动力。天主教传教士学校和福音派传教士学校的作品尽管存在差异,但都非常重视并努力培养能够充当权力经纪人的殖民地臣民。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Religion in Africa was founded in 1967 by Andrew Walls. In 1985 the editorship was taken over by Adrian Hastings, who retired in 1999. His successor, David Maxwell, acted as Executive Editor until the end of 2005. The Journal of Religion in Africa is interested in all religious traditions and all their forms, in every part of Africa, and it is open to every methodology. Its contributors include scholars working in history, anthropology, sociology, political science, missiology, literature and related disciplines. It occasionally publishes religious texts in their original African language.
