Description

Early Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

The second edition, third impression. First published in 1912.

Written by Scottish author and missionary, Dan Crawford, who wrote his informative work after spending twenty-two years living in Africa, spreading the gospel. Crawford became known as "Konga Vantu", meaning "the gatherer of the people" after he integrated himself into society and converted a number of people to Christianity through his preaching.

'Thinking Black' was written with the aim to teach Europeans how to work in partnership with, rather than over, the local people.
