"Veteran anthropologist and historian Aylward Shorter takes the reader inside the ideals and lives of the "White Fathers" - the spiritual sons of Cardinal Lavigerie, who are now known as the "Missionaries of Africa." In a twenty-two year period, these missioners worked to understand how to preach the Gospel, establish the Catholic Church, and educate an African clergy. Often these missioners found themselves at odds with colonial authorities and at other times the objects of attempts at co-optation."--BOOK JACKET.

"""It is a remarkable work. Probably the most focussed on a critical examination of my theories on missionary discourse in Africa. Your rendering of my ideas is almost perfect."" Prof. V. Y. Mudimbe, Duke University ""This study of V. Y. Mudimbe's theories of missionary discourse in Africa makes an important contribution to research in the area of mission and colonial studies. The author not only successfully demythologises the missionary project but also provides the conceptual tools for the construction of the content of a post-missionary Christianity."" Prof. Peter B. Clarke, King's College, University of London F. W. Stenger, a member of the Missionaries of Africa [White Fathers], received his Ph. D. from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. He is lecturer at Tangaza College, Catholic University of East Africa in Nairobi, Kenya. "

Song for My Fathers is the story of a young white boy driven by a consuming passion to learn the music and ways of a group of aging black jazzmen in the twilight years of the segregation era. Contemporaries of Louis Armstrong, most of them had played in local obscurity until Preservation Hall launched a nationwide revival of interest in traditional jazz. They called themselves “the mens.” And they welcomed the young apprentice into their ranks. The boy was introduced into this remarkable fellowship by his father, an eccentric Southern liberal and failed novelist whose powerful articles on race had made him one of the most effective polemicists of the early Civil Rights movement. Nurtured on his father’s belief in racial equality, the aspiring clarinetist embraced the old musicians with a boundless love and admiration. The narrative unfolds against the vivid backdrop of New Orleans in the 1950s and ‘60s. But that magical place is more than decor; it is perhaps the central player, for this story could not have taken place in any other city in the world.

Analyzing published and archival oral histories of formerly enslaved African Americans, Libra R. Hilde explores the meanings of manhood and fatherhood during and after the era of slavery, demonstrating that black men and women articulated a surprisingly broad and consistent vision of paternal duty across more than a century. Complicating the tendency among historians to conflate masculinity within slavery with heroic resistance, Hilde emphasizes that, while some enslaved men openly rebelled, many chose subtle forms of resistance in the context of family and local community. She explains how a significant number of enslaved men served as caretakers to their children and shaped their lives and identities. From the standpoint of enslavers, this was particularly threatening--a man who fed his children built up the master's property, but a man who fed them notions of autonomy put cracks in the edifice of slavery. Fatherhood highlighted the agonizing contradictions of the condition of enslavement, and to be an involved father was to face intractable dilemmas, yet many men tried. By telling the story of the often quietly heroic efforts that enslaved men undertook to be fathers, Hilde reveals how formerly enslaved African Americans evaluated their fathers (including white fathers) and envisioned an honorable manhood.
