Synopsis

This grassroots history of mission Christianity in colonial southern Africa treats religion and society as a coherent whole. It shifts the focus away from European missionaries and African Christians, and on to African evangelists, schoolchildren, healers and - most of all - Christian women. The ideologies and practices of Christianity emerge as inseparable from a kingdom's construction of power in central Botswana - a realm of the word premised, not on western hegemony, but instead on Tswana self-rule.
