Blackness, Whiteness and the Anabaptist 'Imagined Community' in Print and Mission
How did Anabaptists enter into the discourse of race in North America during the 19th and early 20th centuries? How did they negotiate, challenge and reproduce ideas of race in the forms of print, social interaction and mission activity?
