the critical role played by the missionaries in the establishment and consolidation of colonial control in Africa. Our focus centered on the motives, practices, and processes of the collaborative hegemony (although not often successfully) imposed on African societies by missions and colonial rulers. The mutual linkages among missions, colonial state institutions, as well as the role of Africans in the remaking of African societies are well covered. To think of the intersection between evangelism, and colonial expansion across Africa, however, is not to state the obvious, but to explore the processes and outcomes of this partnership, including the conflicts of collaboration and the induction of some Africans as agents of imperial control. Understanding the nuances of collaboration and ambivalences that emerged also require us to acknowledge the wide scale use of language, imagery, technology, and European epistemology in legitimizing relations of inequality with Africans
This is a book on African studies, describing the christian missionaries which happened during the late nineteenth century across different regions of Africa, including the Southern Region of Africa and how this impacted the social and cultural state of the continent in historical context.
