Religion – Nature – Imperialism: Negotiations of Worldviews and Protestant Mission in Cameroon’s Ecosystems between the 1880s and 1930s
DFG with the Agence Nationale de Recherche Scientifique project by CAS-E Associated Scholar Diana Lunkwitz
The project links the history of Protestant missions and the study of religion with the history of environment and commerce with a focus on Cameroon. It examines the connectivity of ecosystems and the missionaries’ worldmaking as well as their concepts of human, gender, religion (including Islam) and the study of Africa-related religion. Here, the renegotiated nature-human imaginations in ecosystems are significant for the history of racism and liberal economic systems.
