330 .. $a "This is the first comprehensive history of Malawi during the colonial period. Using
a wide range of primary and secondary sources, John McCracken places this history
within the context of the pre-colonial past. The book examines the way in which the
British, starting with David Livingstone, followed by the pioneer Scottish Presbyterian
missionaries and also soldiers, speculators, colonial officials and politicians, played
an influential part in shaping Malawi. But even more important is the story of how
the people responded to the intrusion of colonialism and imperialism and the role
they played in the dissolution of the colonial state. There is much here on resistance
to colonial occupation, including religious-inspired revolt, on the shaping of the
colonial economy, on the influence of Christian missions and on the growth of a powerful
popular nationalism that contained within it the seeds of a new authoritarianism.
But space is also given to less mainstream activities: the creation of dance societies,
the eruption of witchcraft eradication movements and the emergence of football as
a popular national sport. In particular, the book seeks to demonstrate the interrelationship
between environmental and economic change and the impact these forces had on a poverty-stricken
yet resilient Malawian peasantry."--P. [4] of cover
