Harry Langworthy "Africa For The African" The Life Of Joseph Booth , Christian Literature Association In Malawi (CLAIM), Malawi, 1996First Edition. Book Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket. A Kachere Monograph. 'Missionaries have often been accused of being hand in glove with colonialism. If this may be true for many, it is definitely not true for Joseph Booth, who published in 1897 his book "Africa for the African" and two years later demanded Independence for Malawi before 1920. Without him, the pacifist, the 1915 Chilemhwe Rising in Malawi would not have been possible, and seven major churches in Malawi would not exist without him, either. Based on a careful and extensive study of the primary sources in three continents the book tells the story of the "maverick missionary" in Malawi, South Africa and Lesotho and of his efforts to find support in Australia, Britain and in the United States of America. Harry Langworthy, who died while this book was prepared for printing, was the great-grandson of Joseph Booth through Emily Langworthy-Booth, who came to Malawi with her recently widowed father as a seven year old girl in 1892. He wrote this book over 20 years as a personal quest and to answer a scholarly challenge. He taught history at the University ofZambia and then became Professor of History at Cleverland State University.'
