The Protestant missionary movement was supported by a whole range of initiatives, events, associations and publications. Missionary associations, sewing professions, mission hours, mission sheets and, last but not least, countless mission festivals, at which a missionary often reported on his experiences from the mission area, helped to make the concerns of the outer mission known in every corner of rural society. However, little research has been done on this side of the Outer Mission. This book takes up this desideratum and tries to reconstruct the region around Göttingen using a combination of discourse analytical and micro-historical approaches, how exactly the support of the outer mission was structured and which actors were interested in and how committed to mission. The focus is on the importance of these initiatives in a history of integration around 1900 as transmission belts for the production of images from outside Europe. In support of the Outer Mission, it is to be shown, local discourses of identity and religious interpretations were combined, which structured "the global" in the local.
