Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Andrew Gollmer, 1889: His Life and Missionary Labours in West Africa, Compiled From His Journals and the Church Missionary Society's Publications The maps of that date show a fringe of places on the coast, but the interior is, with few exceptions, a vast blank.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Andrew Gollmer, 1889: His Life and Missionary Labours in West Africa, Compiled From His Journals and the Church Missionary Society's Publications Never in the world's history has there been so great or so beneficial a change in a vast extent of country, in a comparatively short period, as has taken place in West Africa in the past half-century. Fifty years ago, the west coast was a prey to all the horrors of the slave-trade. Tribal wars, which devastated regions as large as England or France, were waged to meet the insatiable greed of the Arab slave-hunters. The miserable victims who were captured - few in number compared to those who were killed - were driven with inexpressible cruelty, and with fearful loss of life, to the coast, where they were sold to the Spanish or Portuguese slave-dealers, who conveyed them, stowed as closely as possible in the foul holds of slave-ships, to Cuba or Brazil. To quote one instance of the many horrors that were witnessed by those on board the cruisers. Early in 1837, H. M. brig Dolphin captured the corvette Incomprehensible. On taking possession of her, "the scene presented on board was harrowing in the extreme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Religious Encounter and the Making of the Yoruba written by John David Yeadon Peel and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-21 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Peel is by training an anthropologist, but one possessed of an acute historical sensibility. Indeed, this magnificent book achieves a degree of analytical verve rare in either discipline." —History Today "[T]his is scholarship of the highest quality. . . . Peel lifts the Yoruba past to a dimension of comparative seriousness that no one else has managed. . . . The book teems with ideas . . . about big and compelling matters of very wide interest." —T. C. McCaskie In this magisterial book, J. D. Y. Peel contends that it is through their encounter with Christian missions in the mid-19th century that the Yoruba came to know themselves as a distinctive people. Peel's detailed study of the encounter is based on the rich archives of the Anglican Church Missionary Society, which contain the journals written by the African agents of mission, who, as the first generation of literate Yoruba, played a key role in shaping modern Yoruba consciousness. This distinguished book pays special attention to the experiences of ordinary men and women and shows how the process of Christian conversion transformed Christianity into something more deeply Yoruba.
