Abstract
[That Europeans suffered in Africa, made sacrifices, and showed dedication and heroism is a fact apart from all exaggerations of their own accounts and the hagiographies of their admirers. But so did the rarely named African collaborators who carried the missionaries on their backs and in hammocks and who interpreted for them. What comes through to the African who reads the missionary efforts of Europeans in Africa is the ethnocentricity of the account.]
