Exoticizing the women of the colonized states
British India shows the change from trusting missionaries to the creation and fascination with the ‘noble savage.’
Iconic missionary is Franz Van de Velde OMI. He served in the north of Canada and is called the inuit father.
Bessemans SDB, served in Brazil.
Missionaries are transnational institutions.
Most of the congregations were not Belgian, but were still involved in the colonization of the congo.
Even Protestants from Poland participated.
This did not stop after the ‘end’ of colonization. These missions persisted.
