As religious institutions and beliefs have crossed “ racial” boundaries and established new ones in East Asia, they have frequently influenced ideas about race. We will explore these connections through readings on the European Society of Jesus in the 16th and 17th centuries, American and German missionaries in the 19th century, Japanese Protestant and Shintō missionaries in the early 20th century, China’s Muslim minority, and other topics that demonstrate East Asian religious heterogeneity.
