本书重点关注德国摩拉维亚传教士在澳大利亚维多利亚英国殖民地工作的六十年，丰富了对殖民政治以及非英国其他人在操纵外国领域实践和政策方面的作用的理解。这本书的跨国性质的核心是身份问题，以及个人及其工作的组织如何被视为民族国家边界和政治范围内的共谋者和反对者。它分析了摩拉维亚传教士在殖民环境中处理相互竞争的议程的方式，特别是那些影响他们的个人使命感、他们的皈依实践以及他们对维多利亚定居者社会中土著非基督教民族的理解的方式。
Focusing on the six decades that German Moravian missionaries worked in the British colony of Victoria, Australia, this book enriches understanding of colonial politics and the role of the non-British other in manipulating practice and policy in foreign realms. Central to the transnational nature of the book are questions of identity and of how individuals, and the organisations they worked for, can be seen as both colluders and opposers within nation-state borders and politics. It analyses the ways in which the Moravian missionaries navigated competing agendas within the colonial setting, especially those that impacted on their sense of personal vocation, their practices of conversion, and their understandings of the indigenous non-Christian peoples in the settler society of Victoria.
