More about the book

Focusing on ethnology and linguistics, this collection of essays by James Kennedy draws from his extensive experiences as a Scottish missionary in Africa. The first part examines African cultures, including marriage customs and the effects of European colonization. The second part highlights linguistic studies, particularly the structure and origins of African languages, with a detailed analysis of Swahili. Kennedy's observations offer valuable insights into 19th-century African societies, making this work significant for those interested in cultural and linguistic studies.
