Full Description

The Congo Evangelistic Mission (CEM) was one of the most successful classical Pentecostal missions in Africa. Maxwell examines the roles of CEM missionaries and their African collaborators—the Luba-speaking peoples of southeast Katanga—in producing knowledge about Africa, illustrating the mutually constitutive nature of discourses of identity in colonial Africa and how the Luba shaped missionary research.
