July 8, 2024 | American Protestants went to Africa in the post-WWII era with a spiritual mission, but many ended up playing significant, unforeseen roles in national and regional politics during the Cold War. Informed by extensive archival research and personal interviews, Philip Dow’s new book Accidental Diplomats (2024) explores the surprising sociopolitical impact of missionaries in Africa-particularly in Congo, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The book provides a fresh contribution to scholarly, policy, and popular discussions on the often ignored or misunderstood role of religious figures in international affairs.
