One of the great features of the missionary revival, with which the new century opens, is the determination that the Church shall study, seriously and systematically, the countries and peoples where and among whom missions are to be maintained, and the methods best adapted to evangelize them. Forms of government, racial peculiarities, religious beliefs, degrees of intelligence, and many other factors are to be considered, not only in the judging of a people, but also in the plans proposed for their improvement. The more intelligent the Church becomes concerning all mission fields their environment, difficulties, methods, discouragements, and results the more surely will conscientious and systematic giving increase, and the more certainly will the higher life of service among God speople be advanced. The title of this book. Daybreak in theD aek Continent, is suggestive of the present conditions in A frica.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to detail the complex interplay between the social, geographical, religious, and economic forces that shaped Africa between the 16th century and 1905. Placing special focus on the interplay between European colonizers and indigenous African peoples, the author offers a unique perspective on the "Dark Continent" and its transition into the 20th century. Africa, the last of the continents to be explored and exploited, had remained essentially mysterious to the West before the 16th century. This book illuminates the gradual steps by which Africa transformed from a land largely unknown to Europeans, to a continent controlled largely by European nations. It further explores the impact of this expansion on the peoples of Africa, and to the resilience and agency of those peoples in the face of European colonizers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
