Description
Here, the author contends that it is through their encounter with Christian missions in the mid-19th century that the Yoruba have come to know themselves as such. This detailed study looks at journals written by African agents of the mission who played a key role in shaping Yoruba consciousness. By focusing on the lived experience of ordinary Yoruba, this title aimgs to show how the process of Christian covnversion began to transform Christianity into something more deeply Yoruba. This is intended as a book for readers interested in African history, colonialism and culture, religious change and the globalization of Christianity.
