What this episode covers
Dr. Angela Tarango was nine years old when she visited her first Native American reservation and discovered a history that she wasn't being taught at school. That experience "lit a fire" that has guided her work as a historian. Her book Choosing the Jesus Way: American Indian Pentecostals and the Fight for the Indigenous Principle (University of North Carolina Press, 2014) discusses the “indigenous principle,” which encourages missionaries to train local leadership in hopes of creating an indigenous church rooted in the culture of the missionized. In this podcast, Dr. Tarango talks to Dr. Sophia Magallanes about researching overlooked stories, how colonialism expresses itself in Pentecostalism, and what it's like to write others' histories as an outsider.
