This book looks back to the period 1860 to 1950 in order to grasp
how alternative visions of amity and co-existence were forged
between people of faith, both within and resistant to imperial
contact zones. It argues that networks of faith and friendship
played a vital role in forging new vocabularies of cosmopolitanism
that presaged the post-imperial world of the 1950s. In focussing on
the diverse cosmopolitanisms articulated within liberal
transnational networks of faith it is not intended to reduce or
ignore the centrality of racisms, and especially hegemonic
whiteness, in underpinning the spaces and subjectivities that these
networks formed within and through. Rather, the book explores how
new forms of cosmopolitanism could be articulated despite the
awkward complicities and liminalities inhabited by individuals and
characteristic of cosmopolitan thought zones.
