"Stambach employs a delicate and even-handed touch as she probes the missionaries' intentions, means, and outcomes, as well as the needs and responses of local communities in Africa."--Anthony J. Gittins, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute "Stambach's superb insights into faith-based efforts across East Africa demonstrate the complex interconnectedness of religion and education. On a highly fluid, truly transnational terrain, new visions of sociality and civics are taking shape. There is simply nothing like this in the library of works on missionization in Africa." --Brad Weiss, The College of William and Mary " Faith in Schools reveals how 'teaching without preaching,' a condition of participating in public schooling in East Africa, is actually serving the changing religious ends of Evangelicals. The complexity of development work in East Africa, and America's role in ushering in this work, are highlighted in this truly global look at the drama of universal human salvation today." --Zolani Ngwane, Haverford College.
