Christianity and the African Counter-Discourse in Achebe and Beti: Cultures in Dialogue, Contest and Conflict goes beyond the existing clichés about the operations of the European Christian missionaries and opens alternative ways to read the chain of missionary-native African, and missionary-European colonists relationships.
