This book examines the cultures of colonial science, missionary education, and racial politics in South Africa through the life of A. W. Robert, a key participant in all three fields. This study gives insight into the porous nature of categories such as missionary evangelism, research in the physical sciences, and racial politics, which are traditionally segregated from one another in historical discourse.
