Protestant Missionaries, Asian Immigrants, and Ideologies of Race in America, 1850-1924 - Snow, Jennifer (Columbia University, New York, USA)

This book examines how in defending Asian rights and their own version of Christian idealism against scientific racism, missionaries developed a complex theology of race that prefigured modern ideologies of multiculturalism and reached its final, belated culmination in the liberal Protestant support of the civil rights movements in the 1960s.
