• W1514696952 abstract "Fipa Families: Reproduction and Catholic Evangelization in Nkansi, Ufipa, 1880-1960. By Kathleen R. Smythe. Social History of Africa. Portsmouth, N.H.: Heinemann, 2006. Pp. ix, 202. $29.95. Moving beyond the Comaroffs' model of the missionary encounter as a binary opposition between Europeans and Africans, Kathleen Smythe's study of Catholic evangelism in Ufipa, Tanzania, focuses instead upon the unexpected points of convergence between Fipa interests and those of the White Fathers. Both parties were deeply concerned with how best to socialize children in order to reproduce an appropriate social order. Because the mission antedated the colonial intrusions of both the Germans and the British, it provided a point of stability in a constantly changing political landscape. Missionaries were therefore more salient in this region than were colonial agents, for they were more involved in day-to-day life and could serve as mediators between the local populations and the colonial regimes. Their consistent presence and the congruence of their interests in socialization and reproduction with those of Fipa society made it possible for the missionaries to enter into Fipa life in the idiom of family members. Missionaries were incorporated into local understandings as potential parents and grandparents. The core of the book explores how Fipa socialization patterns, marked not by initiation but rather by a sequence of shifting sleeping arrangements, came to overlap with Catholic mission education through boarding schools. At the turn of the century, children were expected to gradually shift from sleeping with their mothers to sleeping in the homes of their grandparents as they became more mature and aware, eventually sharing sleeping huts with their peers as they reached adolescence. At marriage they would form a new household and the cycle would recommence. Smythe argues that the mission offered an alternative sleeping arrangement and new ways of growing in awareness and maturity. The mission boarding schools were not, therefore, a rupture with the past, but rather a new way of accomplishing older socialization goals. Parents assumed that the mission would take on the attendant responsibilities of parents or grandparents implied in the acceptance of children into these boarding schools. While the mission hoped to effect an internal moral change in its charges, Fipa who converted and became central to the reproduction of the church emphasized instead material and physical experiences in the context of boarding school education. …" @default.
