Zululand
Zululand
Collection: South Africa in Records from Colonial Missionaries, 1819–1900 Volumes Zululand
These documents reveal the challenges facing missionaries wishing to convert indigenous people in Zululand and Swaziland. Wary chiefs, alongside people who held a deep attachment to their existing belief system, presented a real—and entirely understandable—challenge to Christian missionaries. This volume reveals how the latter responded by resorting to a tried and tested missionary tactic: incentivising engagement with their creed by distributing food.

We were unable to find any results for your requested terms. Whilst we try our best to extract as much usable and searchable as possible, our primary resource collections have varying levels of available metadata and searchable OCR'd text depending on the nature of the document; please bear this in mind when searching, especially when looking for older resources. We recommend trying the following:
- Try a different combination of terms and queries to try and match your result.
- Use 'themes' or 'subjects' directly in your search query, e.g. "19th century colonial administration Africa" - 'Africa' being the broad subject.
- Use a broader search and use the filters on the left-hand side to refine your results.
