| Summary: | This article relies on archival and oral sources to examine ideas about religious health care, empire, and Christian-Muslim relations in Western Tanzania from the 1920s to the 1960s. Ideas about religion and empire have attracted attention from historians and anthropologists with varying viewpoints. While acknowledging the scholarly attention to issues regarding religion and empire, this study seeks to show how religious health institutions shaped the course of colonial imperatives and the relations between Christians and Muslims in the region. This article focuses on Catholic health institutions of the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa (commonly referred to as the White Sisters), Medical Missionaries of Mary, and Daughters of Mary to show the place of women missionaries in shaping ideas in relation to empire and changing relationships between Christians and Muslims in Western Tanzania. |
