Product Description
Second in a proposed three-volume study of colonial evangelism and modernity in South Africa. This fascinating study shows how the initiatives of colonial missions collided with local tradition, giving rise to new cultural practices and patterns of ethnicity. The Comaroffs show that colonialism was less a relationship of conqueror and conquered, and more one of a complex system of reciprocity. 32 halftones .
