The Politics of Housing in (Post-)Colonial Africa
Housing matters, no matter when or where. This volume of collected essays on housing in colonial and postcolonial Africa seeks to elaborate the how and the why. Housing is much more than a living everyday practice. It unfolds in its disparate dimensions of time, space and agency. Context dependent, it acquires diverse, often ambivalent, meanings. Housing can be a promise, an unfulfilled dream, a tool of self- and class-assertion, a negotiation pr…

Familiengeschichte auf der Missionsstation Mosego, der Farm Mecklenburg und in der Stadt Pietersburg (Südafrika)
In the transgenerational and transcontinental history of the Winter family, conflict and divisions played a major part. J. P . D. Winter, a son of nineteenth-century missionary parents, married twice to establish himself in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga regions. In his first marriage, wealth and regional connection constituted the resources he converted into family wealth. In his second marriage,“whiteness” became the asset he based his family fortu…
The King, the Missionary and the Missionary's Daughter
In 1881 the Pedi king Sekhukhune and the German missionary Johannes August Winter were drawn into a close relationship which included a wide-ranging discussion of their beliefs and values. It also involved their families. Indeed, the most startling outcome of their interactions was the planned betrothal of Sekhukhune to the missionary's infant daughter, Anna. Their developing alliance was cut short by tragedy but their brief encounter provides te…

Through the Eyes of Missionaries and the Archives They Created
The archives of two German Lutheran mission societies hold rich data on, and interpretations of, Transvaal history. But this material cannot simply be mined for ‘facts’. It was assembled in a process of interaction in which the perceptions and values of both missionaries and converts were challenged, culturally translated and modified. The missionaries' views and perceptions became entangled with the thought patterns of colonial society and were …

J.A. Winter – Visionary or Mercenary? A Missionary Life in Colonial Context
This article focuses on the life of the missionary J.A. Winter who is best known for his role in the formation of the Lutheran Bapedi Church in 1890. It explores the vital part he played in a range of other important historical processes, including the struggles over the political and economic controls imposed on Pedi society after colonial conquest in 1879, the violent conflicts which took place in the region during the South African War and the…
Conversion to Christianity in African History before Colonial Modernity
This article examines different paradigms of conversions to Christianity in regions of Africa prior to the advent of colonial modernity. Religious change, in general, connected converts and various intermediaries to resources and power within specific settings. Even though African cultures were oral, conversions generated the production of texts which became important print media and were at least partly responsible for prompting conversions else…
Sekukuni, Listen!, Banna!, and to The Children of Frederick the Great and Our Kaiser Wilhelm
Encountering colonialism and Christianity, African people became intertwined with the development of a documentary culture in the Northern Transvaal. In the second half of the nineteenth century Africans, missionaries and settlers produced and read Bibles, codes of law, newspaper articles, translations of religious texts and church declarations. As a result of multifaceted social interaction, African people's attitudes were never an exclusively A…
