Kenneth A. Loparo 
Missionary Masculinity, 1870-1930 
The Norwegian Missionaries in South-East Africa

What kind of men were missionaries? What kind of masculinity did they represent, in ideology as well as in practice? Presupposing masculinity to be a cluster of cultural ideas and social practices that change over time and space, and not a stable entity with a natural, inherent meaning, Kristin Fjelde Tjelle seeks to answer such questions.
