"This work explores how 19th-century French missionary policies shaped the future of the Catholic Church in Eastern Africa. Avoiding stereotypes, Kollman relates the complex story of evangelization by members of the Congregation of the Holy Ghost (also known as Spiritans) and its reception by African ex-slaves. Rich in historical detail and anthropological insight, this book brings into vivid relief the way these groups interacted and were affected by circumstances neither could control."--BOOK JACKET.
