Gender, Power and Sexual Abuse in the Pacific - Rev. Simpson's "Improper Liberties" (Hardcover)

In 1843 on the island of Tahiti the evangelical missionary Rev.
Alexander Simpson was accused of sexually assaulting three of the
female students under his care, and of taking 'improper liberties'
with at least three more. The events did not come out in public for
at least a decade, while Simpson's power in the local community
only grew and rumblings relating to his wrong-doings were
ruthlessly 'crushed'. By exploring the case of Rev. Simpson, Emily
Manktelow gives us key insights into the gender, power and racial
dynamics of a particular case of sexual abuse on the frontiers of
European colonialism. She explores the social and sexual context of
clerical abuse, considers the hierarchies of gender and power that
determined how the case was handled, and investigates the nature of
colonialism, gender and abuse in the 19th century. The
uncomfortably timely content of Gender, Power and Sexual Abuse in
the Pacific allows us to interrogate the way we deal with and
represent issues of abuse, authority and childhood. It aims to give
voice to those whom the archive has silenced, and to listen to what
they have to tell us about gender, sexuality and abuse in the
modern world.
