Crummey, Donald

SUMMARY

Priests and Politicians was a contribution to a growing literature on Christian missions in Africa. It covered an early phase of nineteenth century activities in a part of the continent, which is still poorly represented in Africanists scholarship. The study rests upon an extensive use of English, French, Swiss and Italian archives. The main thematic emphasis is political inter-action: the central role of missionaries in the genesis of modern Afro-European relations and the apparent motives of Ethiopian leaders in dealing with representatives of an alien society. A variety of missionary strategies is revealed and discussed with particular reference to two areas: attitudes towards the Ethiopian Orthodox Church; and the degree to which missions identified Christianity with European culture. In the process, it casts significant new light on internal Ethiopian developments.Crummey, Donald is the author of 'Priests and Politicians: Protestant and Catholic Missions in Orthodox Ethiopia (1830-1868)', published 2007 under ISBN 9781599070216 and ISBN 1599070219.
