In 1894 Steen Morris raped Antônia Teixeira. Both had been guests in the house of Baylor University president Rufus Burleson. The assault took place in Burleson’s backyard and was the first of a series of assaults that eventually left the young Baylor student pregnant. Rather than hold the guilty party accountable, Rufus Burleson and other prominent members of the Baptist community in Waco launched a campaign of intimidation, victim-blaming, and cover-up to preserve the virtuous image of their institution. In Remembering Antônia Teixeira, Mikeal C. Parsons and João B. Chaves painstakingly peel back the layers of concealment that have accumulated over a century of enforced silence about the case. Beginning with Antonia’s father Antônio Teixeira, a priest who had renounced Catholicism and become a pillar of the Baptist community in Brazil, Parsons and Chaves uproot romanticized and hagiographical accounts of the Southern Baptist Convention’s foreign missions. They then follow Antônia’s journey north, her assault, and the subsequent scandal that shook Texas—until it was intentionally erased. Iconoclastic and meticulous, Remembering Antônia Teixeira calls attention to how religious institutions have used selective memory to maintain power. In doing so, this book takes a first step toward dismantling those structures of oppression. 600 10 Teixeira, Antônia. 600 10 Albuquerque, Antônio Teixeira de,|d1840-1887. 600 10 Burleson, Rufus Columbus,|d1823-1901. 600 10 Brann, William Cowper,|d1855-1898. 600 10 Morris, Steen. 600 10 Taylor, Zachary C.,|d1851-1919. 610 20 Southern Baptist Convention|xMissions|zBrazil|xHistory. 610 20 Baylor University|xHistory. 610 20 Baylor University|xStudents|xCrimes against. 650 0 Baptists|xMissions|zBrazil|xHistory. 650 0 Missionaries|zBrazil|xHistory. 650 0 Women college students|xCrimes against|zTexas|zWaco |xHistory. 650 0 Rape victims|zTexas|zWaco|xHistory. 650 0 Trials (Rape)|zTexas|zWaco|xHistory. 651 0 Waco (Tex.)|xRace relations|xHistory|y19th century. 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Chaves, João B.,|eauthor. 700 1 Leonard, Bill|q(Bill J.),|ewriter of foreword.
