Abstract
[Emma Wild-Wood’s masterful volume, The Mission of Apolo Kivebulaya: Religious Encounter & Social Change in the Great Lakes c.1865-1935, ticks all the boxes of the new historiography of World Christianity: it prioritizes the stories of indigenous agents both as subjects and informants, it focuses on social and cultural contexts to recast the story from an African perspective, it interprets and critiques Western sources in a global light, and it documents in detail the role of named women. Furthermore, the author ensured that her work was disseminated equitably to a global audience by first publishing it as a paperback in East Africa.]
