Publisher Synopsis
Extensively researched, 'David Griffiths and the Missionary History of Madagascar' reflects a masterful command of the primary material, along with the high attention to detail one has come to expect from Gwyn Campbell's work. - Hilary Ingram, University College LondonIn his ambitious and meticulously documented David Griffiths and the Missionary History of Madagascar, Gwyn Campbell, the noted religious and economic historian of Madagascar, connects the micro-politics of nineteenth-century missionaries working with the London Missionary Society (LMS) in Madagascar with the larger dynamics of shifting global power struggles including European imperialism and religious persecution. The result is a sweeping narrative that will be of interest to scholars across the fields of history, anthropology, Malagasy studies, and religious studies. - Sarah R.
