Negotiating Identity

Evangelism & Missions

“Negotiating Identity is a treasure for any missionary seeking to understand the nuances of a complex culture. His findings show ethnic identities are often more varied than sometimes thought, and he has courageously done the missionary community a great service by pointing out the limits of the homogeneous unit principle. This study is highly recommended for any missionary serious about understanding the people to whom he seeks to minister.”
