This book aims to understand how the nineteenth century African agent of mission appropriated change without losing cultural integrity, using the example of Samuel Johnson, 1846-1901. Drawing on multiple contexts, the book shows him as embodying the opportunities and the ambivalence of the time in the people’s war-weary century of change.
