Series: The Lavigerie History of Christian Missions - 1
Summary:
The consistency of Nyamwezi religious beliefs responded to the needs of isolated small-scale societies. This study argues that within the traditional political and social structures, established religious practices were unsuccessfully challenged by the first missionaries proposing Christianity. Colonialism brought about large-scale economic changes and disempowered traditional political leaders. The introduction of literacy and scientific knowledge through schools enabled a younger Nyamwezi generation to adopt new ideas and values, including Christianity, which were consonant with their inherited culture.
Contents: Unyamwezi, pre-colonial missions, missions in Ushirombo, Msalala, Ndala, Tabora.
