À propos du livre
“Making the Blind Man Lame” serves two purposes. The first is a collection of experiences of the first African American family on a particular mission field in Kenya. It gives a ‘fly on the wall’ description of the mishaps, misadventures, and mistakes we all make when we encounter new people and new places.
Secondly, it is about cultural and racial imperialism in Christian American missionary work. These two characteristics are as innate to mission work as fallen leaves are to autumn, but not nearly as pretty.
The traditional African American church if left in its present state will become extinct as it loses its power and moral authority. We are choosing literally to live in the pain of the past, rather than helping others who are living in present pain.
