Samuel Crowther Bücher
Samuel Ajayi Crowther war ein wegweisender Linguist und der erste afrikanische anglikanische Bischof in Nigeria. Sein Lebensweg, von der Gefangennahme durch muslimische Räuber und dem Verkauf an portugiesische Sklavenhändler bis zur Befreiung durch die britische Royal Navy, prägte sein tiefes Interesse an Sprachen und Glauben. Crowther wurde zu einem bedeutenden Verfechter von Bildung und Sprachstudien unter seinem Volk und damit zu einer Schlüsselfigur in der kulturellen und religiösen Landschaft Westafrikas.
