There are many histories of overseas mission and many histories of the last days of Great Britains empire in Africa, but there has been no book-length study on the relationship between them until now. In British Missionaries and the End of Empire, historian John Stuart thoroughly and critically examines British Protestant missionary experiences dur
John Stuart is principal lecturer in history at Kingston University, London. Formerly lecturer in British Imperial and Commonwealth History at King's College London, he is also the author of several articles and book chapters on the history of British Protestant missions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Journal of Ecclesiastical History "Well-conceived, lucid and finely written volume. . . . A must-read." International Journal of African Historical Studies "Meticulously researched, compellingly written and an insightful account." International Bulletin of Missionary Research "A carefully researched, broadly focused, and pleasantly written account of missions at the end of colonialism. . . . An important contribution to the field." Church Times "Stuart's well-researched and well-written book throws much light on the background of the current tensions and suspicions in the Anglican Communion between post-colonial African Churches and the Churches of the former colonial powers."
