Event Details

A book talk by Charlotte Walker-Said, introduction by Rhiannon Stephens.

This book explores the radical innovations of African Catholic and Protestant evangelists who received and innovated Christianity to challenge local and foreign governments operating in the League of Nations Mandate of Cameroon. Demonstrating the power of non-clerical networks rather than institutional hierarchies, African Christians transformed foreign missionary societies into profoundly local religious institutions by establishing novel family and community models and reimagining African male authority. Relevant for those interested in African religion, global Christianity, colonialism, and masculinity studies.
