Abstract

In this essay, I analyze the intersection of African migration, race, and Christianity in the United States to highlight the 1960s as a pivotal moment of African immigrant influence on US missions. Rather than serving as pawns in a US-centric debate about race and missions, African immigrants were key players given their firsthand racialized encounters and their efforts to link racial discord in the US with US missions in Africa. By situating this discussion in the 1960s—a time before the emergence of formalized African immigrant churches—this essay illuminates a longer history of African immigrant influence on US Christianity.

这是耶稣的旨意，也是我们的旨意!:非洲移民、种族和美国的使命

在这篇文章中，我分析了非洲移民、种族和基督教在美国的交集，以强调20世纪60年代是非洲移民对美国使命影响的关键时刻。在以美国为中心的关于种族和使命的辩论中，非洲移民并没有充当棋子，而是扮演了关键角色，因为他们亲身经历了种族化的遭遇，并努力将美国的种族不和与美国在非洲的使命联系起来。通过将这一讨论置于20世纪60年代——正式的非洲移民教会出现之前——这篇文章阐明了非洲移民对美国基督教影响的更长的历史。
