Více o knize

Focusing on the life of Alexander Hetherwick, this intellectual biography explores his significant role in shaping Scotland-Malawi relations during the early 20th century. Hetherwick, a Scottish missionary who led the Blantyre Mission from 1898 to 1928, navigated the complex intersections of mission, race, and colonialism. Kenneth R. Ross challenges the notion that Hetherwick compromised his ideals, highlighting his dedication to the African community and the growth of the African church, while also acknowledging the pervasive influence of colonialism on his work.
