About this book
The first intellectual biography of Alexander Hetherwick, a key figure
in Scotland–Malawi relations. Mission, race and colonialism were three
forces shaping Malawi's history during the early years of the 20th
century. They 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.
Kenneth R. Ross 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.
