Educated Girls, Clothes and Christianity
Mabel Shaw, a missionary educator who founded a boarding school for African girls at Mbereshi in modern Zambia’s Luapula province at the inception of the 20th century, perceived her former schoolgirls who jettisoned mission-inspired clothes and took to wearing modern apparel in the mine compounds of the Copperbelt as relapsed Christians who had reverted to worldliness. The missionary held that this situation was a consequence of the girls’ urbani…
The Politics of the Corpse
Informed by recent scholarship that underscores the centrality of death, corpses and funerals in contemporary African politics, this article explores the ways in which political actors in the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) and the opposition Patriotic Front (PF) in Zambia appropriated the corpse and legacy of President Levy Mwanawasa to mobilise political support in 2008. The article insists that in order to secure support indispe…
A School of Struggle
Strange bedfellows
This article explores the conflicting meanings of the trans-African expedition undertaken between 1853 and 1856 by colonial explorer David Livingstone, with the support of the African monarch Sekeletu, the young Kololo king. The Scottish explorer perceived the inter-continental journey as essential to establishing a trade route along which would flow imported goods from Europe to central Africa, and raw materials from the latter to the metropole.…
From an Agency of Cultural Destruction to an Agency of Public Health
Most medical histories maintain that missionary doctors in imperial Africa were agents of Western cultural imperialism. This scholarship, informed by the writings of Michel Foucault, projects mission-based healers as agents of imperial power who played a major role in emasculating African therapeutic systems and in reinforcing colonial hegemony. This scholarship partly derives its support from the fact that across Africa, mission doctors and nurs…
Missionaries, African Patients, and Negotiating Missionary Medicine at Kalene Hospital, Zambia, 1906-1935
Until recently, European medical missionaries in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were often portrayed as all-powerful heroes who plied their craft without being soiled by the cultural commerce of the people they encountered in imperial contexts. Such histories often cast colonial subjects as beneficiaries of missionary medicine who, none the less, routinely contested the medical authority and power of missionary medics. This article casts …
Advertising, Consuming Manufactured Goods and Contracting Colonial Hegemony on the Zambian Copperbelt, 1945–1964
After the Second World War, European traders and foreign-based firms increasingly advertised manufactured goods in the print media controlled by the colonial state, European missionaries and mining companies in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia). In the 1950s and 1960s, aware that Europeans would never treat them as equals, even if the elite was encouraged to consume modern goods, the nationalists orchestrated back-breaking strikes, go-slows and boyc…
Traditional Rulers, Nationalists And The Quest For Freedom In Northern Rhodesia In The 1950s
This chapter suggests that chiefs-cum-nationalists who were attracted to the politics of decolonisation in the 1950s usually did so largely in response to growing popular political militancy in their areas. The chapter submits that chiefs in Northern Rhodesia who converted to the nationalist ideology in the 1950s did so cautiously and struggled to defend their influence not merely from colonial rulers but also from the increasingly autocratic Afr…
The Killing of Lilian Margaret Burton and Black and White Nationalisms in Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) in the 1960s
The symbolic significance of politically-motivated killings of Europeans during the nationalist struggle against colonial power in Africa in the 1950s and 1960 has long eluded the scrutiny of most historians. For although many historians have demonstrated the ways in which such killings shaped the pace of the decolonisation process in the continent, they have seldom shown how the killings themselves became an important terrain on which competing …

Language, Medical Auxiliaries, and the Re-interpretation of Missionary Medicine in Colonial Mwinilunga, Zambia, 1922-511
Until recently, African medical auxiliaries employed in missionary-owned hospitals in colonial Africa have been thought of as little more than agents who both imbibed the imperial ideologies of their European masters and planted those values beyond the confines of mission enclaves. From this standpoint, auxiliaries are seen as having undermined African medical beliefs and praxis. Implicit in this view is the assumption that medical auxiliaries ap…
