He also reflects on the impact of his work and the legacy of the West Indian Church in the region.Overall, Fifty Years In Western Africa is a fascinating and insightful account of the work of the West Indian Church in Western Africa, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the region or the role of religion in social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
