The crystallization of counter-enlightenment and philosophe identities: theological controversy and catholic enlightenment in pre-revolutionary France: RECENT works of modern French history have found it fashionable, when focusing on the eighteenth century from across the jagged shoals of nineteenth- and twentieth-century France, to reductively treat Francophone national identity as the dialogical interaction of two related "imagined communities."

Portable politics and durable religion: the moral worldviews of American evangelical missionaries: INTRODUCTION We began this study with the assumption that American international missionaries, having been exposed to a foreign culture, would relativize their own perspective on American culture, religion, and politics.

Ritual time in British Plantation Colonies, 1650-1780: Four thousand miles of ocean divided the plantation colonies of the first British Empire from the English metropole, a great physical distance that was augmented by the cultural divergence that divided those slave societies from England.
