Africa and African Methodism

Summary: Africa and African Methodism is Ridgel's favorable account of his 1893 missionary trip to Sierra Leone in Western Africa. He describes the people and the country, urges African-Americans to take pride in their roots and encourages black Americans to emigrate to Africa. He proposes the theory that the founders of the Egyptian civilization were African and sees Africa as a rich opportunity for the growth of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and its missions. The book concludes with a short history of Methodism in Africa and biographical sketches.
