In British Missionaries and the End of Empire, historian John Stuart thoroughly and critically examines British Protestant missionary experiences during the tumultuous years between 1939 and 1964 in east, central, and southern Africa. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Focusing on Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, and Kenya (with an eye for South African influence on mission affairs), Stuart portrays the uneven and evolving relationship between Protestant missionaries, the British empire, and African nationalists. He shows how missionaries sometimes supported empire, sometimes drew comfort from it, sometimes criticized it, yet finally learned to live with its formal demise, continuing their work in the newly formed African independent states even after the end of empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Stuart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802866336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802866332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
