""religion""and ""religions"" on colonial frontiers. The book
offers a detailed analysis of the ways in which European travelers,
missionaries, settlers, and government agents, as well as
indigenous Africans, engaged in the comparison of alternative
religious ways of life as one dimension of intercultural contact.
Focusing primarily on ninteenth-century frontier relations, David
Chidester demonstrates that the terms and conditions for
comparison-including a discrouse about ""otherness"" that were
established during this period still remains. A volume in the
series Studies in Religion and Culture
