This study examines a group of young Norwegian-American missionaries sent to Japan in the early 1950s. Certain that a communist regime would take over and make mission work impossible, as in China, they instead witnessed Japan's economic transformation and were affected by postcolonial ideologies and new ways to understand "mission."
