Zululand

Collection: South Africa in Records from Colonial Missionaries, 1819–1900 Volumes Zululand

These documents reveal the challenges facing missionaries wishing to convert indigenous people in Zululand and Swaziland. Wary chiefs, alongside people who held a deep attachment to their existing belief system, presented a real—and entirely understandable—challenge to Christian missionaries. This volume reveals how the latter responded by resorting to a tried and tested missionary tactic: incentivising engagement with their creed by distributing food.
