In this book, David Lindenfeld proposes a new dimension to the
study of world history. Here, he explores the global expansion of
Christianity since 1500 from the perspectives of the indigenous
people who were affected by it, and helped change it, giving them
active agency. Integrating the study of religion into world
history, his volume surveys indigenous experience in colonial Latin
America, Native North America, Africa and the African diaspora, the
Middle East, India, East Asia, and the Pacific. Lindenfeld
demonstrates how religion is closely interwoven with political,
economic, and social history. Wide-ranging in scope, and offering a
synoptic perspective of our interconnected world, Lindenfeld
combines in-depth analysis of individual regions with comprehensive
global coverage. He also provides a new vocabulary, with a spectrum
ranging from resistance to acceptance and commitment to
Christianity, that articulates the range and complexity of the
indigenous conversion experience. Lindenfeld's cross-cultural
reflections provide a compelling alternative to the Western
narrative of progressive development.
