Abstract
AbstractIn the twentieth century, Africa became one of the most missionized regions. However, the experiences of the missionaries when settling in Africa varied based on the geographical, cultural, political, and economic context of the various regions. Consequently, studying long-term missionary influence is contingent on understanding the local conditions in which they settled. In this study, I emphasize that case studies provide a better understanding of the context; therefore, this chapter provides a clearer view of Zambia by introducing the geographical, pre-colonial, and colonial context.
