Abstract

"In Moravian Soundscapes, Sarah Eyerly contends that the study of sound is integral to understanding the interactions between German Moravian missionaries and Native communities in early Pennsylvania. In the mid-18th century, when the frontier between settler and Native communities was a shifting spatial and cultural borderland, sound mattered. People listened carefully to each other and the world around them. In Moravian communities, cultures of hearing and listening encompassed and also superseded musical traditions such as song and hymnody. Complex biophonic, geophonic, and anthrophonic acoustic environments'or soundscapes'characterized daily life in Moravian settlements such as Bethlehem, Nain, GnadenhUtten, and FriedenshUtten. Through detailed analyses and historically informed recreations of Moravian communal, environmental, and religious soundscapes and their attendant hymn traditions, Moravian Soundscapes explores how sounds'musical and nonmusical, human and nonhuman'shaped the Moravians' religious culture. Combined with access to an interactive website that immerses the reader in mid-18th century Pennsylvania, and framed with an autobiographical narrative, Moravian Soundscapes recovers the roles of sound and music in Moravian communities and provides a road map for similar studies of other places and religious traditions in the future."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

Leland Ferguson's work reconstructing this ""secret history"" through years of archaeological fieldwork was part of a historical preservation program that helped convince the Moravian Church in North America to formally apologize in 2006 for its participation in slavery and clear a way for racial reconciliation.

Abstract

The eighteenth century was a time of significant change in the perception of marriage and family relations, the emphasis of reason over revelation, and the spread of political consciousness. The Unity of the Brethren, known in America as Moravians, experienced the resulting tensions firsthand as they organized their protective religious settlements in Germany. A group of the Brethren who later settled in Salem, North Carolina, experienced the stresses of cultural and generational conflict when its younger members came to think of themselves as Americans.The Moravians who first immigrated to Am

Abstract

The indigenous and Creole inhabitants (Mosquitians of African descent) of the Mosquito Reserve in present-day Nicaragua underwent a key transformation when two Moravian missionaries arrived in 1849. Within a few short generations, the new faith became so firmly established there that eastern Nicaragua to this day remains one of the world's strongest Moravian enclaves. The Awakening Coast offers the first comprehensive English-language selection of the writings of the multinational missionaries who established the Moravian faith among the indigenous and

Abstract

Gideon's People is the story of an American Indian community in the Housatonic Valley of northwestern Connecticut. It is based on some three decades of nearly uninterrupted German-language diaries and allied records kept by the Moravian missionaries who had joined the Indians at a place called Pachgatgoch, later Schaghticoke. It is supplemented by colonial records and regional political, social, and religious histories and ethnographies. As such, it represents the only comprehensive, thoroughly contextualized description of a Native people in southern New England and adjacent eastern New York

Abstract

Die Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine eröffnete 1766 eine Töchterpension in Montmirail am Neuenburgersee. Gestützt auf bislang unveröffentlichte Quellen zeichnet die Autorin deren Gründung und Etablierung nach. Sie untersucht die Bedeutung dieser Erziehungsanstalt für die Tätigkeit der Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine in der Schweiz, ermittelt ihr pädagogisches Konzept und analysiert ihre Positionierung in der Schweizer Bildungslandschaft. Das Buch leistet einen substanziellen Beitrag aus erziehungswissenschaftlicher Perspektive zur Geschichte der Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine im 18. Jahrhundert sowie zur Mädchenbildung in der Schweiz.
