Focusing on David Clement Scott, the head of the Church of Scotland
mission in Malawi, who came to see Europeans as learners in Africa,
this innovative book narrates the rise and demise of a unique
vision for racial equality in nineteenth-century Africa. By
immersing himself in the vernacular language and institutions,
Scott developed a theology of reversals to pursue justice in race
relations. It set him on a collision course with the Church,
colonial government and the White commercial interests spearheaded
by Cecil Rhodes. Harri Englund shows how Scott's struggle for
justice was as much epistemic as political and spiritual - a vision
for the future in which White and Black would thrive in their
mutual recognition as co-knowers. From linguistic translation to
conflicts over land and taxation, from slave trade to personal
intimacies, Visions for Racial Equality weaves a rich tapestry of
themes in the life and times of a little-known visionary.
