Abstract
Historical studies of Christian missionaries in Africa have not prospered in recent years. TheJournal of African History, which printed six articles on missionaries during the first ten years of its existence, has only printed two articles on the subject in the course of the last ten years. Only one book on missionaries has been published by a major university press in Britain or America since 1972. Very occasionally articles about missionaries appear in theInternational Journal of African Historical StudiesandAfrican Affairsbut never in theCanadian Journal of African Studiesor theJournal of Modern African Studies.Keywords
