About This Item

London: Hodder and Stoughton Ltd, nd. (c.1922). Daniel "Dan" Crawford (1870 � 1926), also known as 'Konga Vantu', was a Scottish missionary of the Plymouth Brethren in central-southern Africa. Pp.373, 33 black & white photos and illustrations +3 maps, toning to endpapers, inner front hinge cracking but holding firm. Black cloth, gilt title to spinem minor edge wear. G+." As well as being involved in translation work with several of the local tribal languages, he was an original thinker and was exceptionally well-read. In many ways he was far ahead of his time, as his books (Thinking Black and Back to the Long Grass) show very clearly. His approach to others was summed up in his words, "I am de-nationalized - a brother to all men; Arab, African, Mongol, Aryan, Jew; seeing in the Incarnation a link that binds us up with all men". This attitude led him to an identification with the Africans and their culture that was not generally welcomed by his European associates at the time and when this is linked with the difficulties caused by his own character, it is perhaps not surprising that few found him an easy person with whom to work and few workers remained for long at the mission at Luanza in his lifetime."(Dict. African Christian Biography).
