Book Description
Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. John Whittle Appleyard, Wesleyan Missionary in South Africa I have been indebted to the Revs. W. C. Holden, Peter Hargreaves, and William Hunter, many years missionaries in South Africa, but now visiting this country, for their communications relative to Mr. Appleyard's work, etc. I am also indebted to Mrs. M. C. Taylor (whose devoted brother, the Rev. Theophilus Chubb, is still labouring in South Africa) for several beautiful letters respecting Mr. Apple yard's later years.

Author: An Age of Hubris
Author: Timothy KeeganPublisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813949181
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
An Age of Hubris is the first comprehensive overview of the impact of missionary enterprise on the Xhosa chiefdoms of South Africa in the first half of the nineteenth century, chronicling a world punctuated by war and millenarian eruptions, and the steady encroachment of settler land hunger and colonial hegemony. With it, Timothy Keegan contributes new approaches to Xhosa history and, most important, a new dimension to the much-trodden but still vital topic of the impact—cultural, social, and political—of missionary activity among African peoples. The most significant historical works on the Xhosa have either become dated, foreground imperial-colonial history, or remain heavily theoretical in nature. In contrast, Keegan draws fruitfully on the rich Africanist comparative and anthropological literature now available, as well as extant primary sources, to foreground the Xhosa themselves in this crucial work. In so doing, he highlights the ways in which Africans utilized new ideas, resources, and practices to make sense of, react to, and resist the forces of colonial dispossession confronting them, emphasizing missionary frustration and African agency.
Savage Systems
Author: David ChidesterPublisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 9780813916675
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Savage Systems examines the emergence of the concepts of "religion"and "religions" on colonial frontiers. The book offers a detailed analysis of the ways in which European travelers, missionaries, settlers, and government agents, as well as indigenous Africans, engaged in the comparison of alternative religious ways of life as one dimension of intercultural contact. Focusing primarily on ninteenth-century frontier relations, David Chidester demonstrates that the terms and conditions for comparison--including a discrouse about "otherness" that were established during this period still remains.
