"In Global Visions of Violence, the editors and contributors argue that violence creates a lens, bridge, and method for interdisciplinary collaboration that examines Christianity worldwide in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. By analyzing the myriad ways violence, persecution, and suffering impact Christians and the imagination of Christian identity globally, this interdisciplinary volume integrates the perspectives of ethicists, historians, anthropologists, and ethnographers to generate new conversations. Taken together, the chapters in this book challenge scholarship on Christian growth that has not accounted for violence while analyzing persecution narratives that can wield data toward partisan ends. This allows Global Visions of Violence to push urgent conversations forward, giving voice to projects that illuminate wide and often hidden landscapes that have been shaped by global visions of violence, and seeking solutions that end violence and turn toward the pursuit of justice, peace, and human rights among suffering Christians"--
This volume brings together nine essays that consider the ways that violence, persecution, and suffering have impacted Christians and Christian identity around the world in the 20th and 21st centuries, emphasizing the issue of agency. Contributors working in religious studies, history, anthropology, and American studies in North America examine different concepts and perceptions of violence, first discussing how contextual factors impact the global circulation of images, stories, and data about persecuted and suffering Christians, including globally imagined forms of suffering as a result of natural and human-caused disasters and the role of martyrdom in the Voice of the Martyrs organization that works to identify Christians who have been victims of religious persecution, violence, and state oppression. Subsequent essays address the embodied experiences of women of color and how contexts of Christian and large-scale violence have shaped the creative expressions of Christian faith in colonial Swaziland and contemporary Mexico; the role of kinship and racialization in Coptic Christian transnational networks; and the communities formed in the midst of violence and persecution in Malawi, India, and China, particularly African Christians, Dalits, and Chinese Christians.
