This volume deals with the relationship between German Protestant missionary societies and African initiation rites in what is now South Africa during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It focuses upon the Moravian Church, the Berlin Mission and the Hermannsburg Mission, drawing upon the periodicals which these missionary societies published. It is shown that initiation rites in many cases constituted a major arena of conflict.
