Abstract
elements of the Roman Catholic church aligned their interests with Victorian-era colonization. While the Comboni missionaries promised to strengthen Christianity in Africa through Black African missionaries, the authors show that these ideas were nothing more than the need to spread Christian values and Catholic morality that conformed to the ideas of the white Western world. Santos and Kumar offer a thorough analysis of the multilayered interplay of the Catholic church ’ s involvement in the colonization of Sudan. While seeking converts, the Mothers of Nigrizia also moved closer to Sudanese society and in some cases created bonds of female solidarity with rescued enslaved women. One of the study ’ s most striking contributions is the attention the authors pay to Italian nuns who actively negotiated colonial space, became part of local communities
