Mission, race and colonialism were three forces shaping Malawi's
history during the early years of the twentieth century. These
three found a concentrated meeting point in the life of Scottish
missionary Alexander Hetherwick, who led Blantyre Mission from 1898
to 1928. This book presents a fresh assessment of this towering
figure in Malawi's history, contesting the scholarly consensus that
Hetherwick betrayed the early ideals of Blantyre Mission by
compromising too much with the colonial system that was in force
during his leadership. The book assesses the pervasive influence of
colonialism, from which Hetherwick was not exempt, and traces the
ways in which he resisted such influence through his relentless
commitment to the interests of the African community and the
inspiration he found in the emergence of the African church.
