As a missionary, chief, and cultural intermediary on the eastern Cape frontier and in Cape Town and a traveler in Great Britain, Tzatzoe helped foster the merging of African and European worlds into a new South African reality. Yet, by the 1860's, despite his determined resistance, he was an oppressed subject of harsh British colonial rule. In this innovative, richly researched, and splendidly written biography, Roger S. Levine reclaims Tzatzoe's lost story and analyzes his contributions to, and experiences with, the turbulent colonial world to argue for the crucial role of Africans as agents of cultural and intellectual change.New directions in narrative history.Xhosa (African people)Kings and rulersBiographyMissionariesSouth AfricaBiographyChristian biographySouth AfricaSocial changeSouth AfricaHistory19th centurySouth AfricaHistoryTo 1836South AfricaHistory1836-1909South AfricaColonizationSouth AfricaEthnic relationsHistory19th centuryXhosa (African people)Kings and rulersMissionariesChristian biographySocial changeHistory968.00496/39850092BLevine Roger S1492697MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786141003321A living man from Africa3715343UNINA
