Ngoni, Xhosa and Scot

More about the book

Focusing on the interactions between the Ngoni people and Scottish and Xhosa missionaries from 1875 to 1914, this collection of essays highlights the complexities of early Christianity's growth in northern Malawi. Rather than a simple missionary narrative, it explores how local cultural, religious, and political struggles shaped these relationships. Notable figures, including the prominent missionary William Koyi, are examined within the context of the Ngoni's quest for survival during a transformative period.
