Gordon, David M.Invisible Agents Spirits in a Central African HistoryAthens: Ohio University Press, 2012.

Gordon is the author of a book that speaks about his experience with interviewing and the fieldwork he had done in Zambia. How religious beliefs can influence the change of social and historical events. Other sources come from missionaries' correspondence, anthropologists, state records that are not published, and newspaper sources from the Zambia press. How spirits can possess invisible forces could influence human bodies, living actions, and the body's flesh. The book speaks about theories that social scientists, physicians, and psychologist's ideas to control emotions. Educational teaching and medical treatment could reduce the emotional damages and allow the African society to accept the social and cultural changes. Peter Geschiere, a professor of African anthropology at the University of Amsterdam, comments on the old form of spiritual government known as "witchcraft" and its dangerous emotional impact on the community. He speaks of it being "the dark side of kinship."[1]A part of the African culture. Christians view witchcraft as being evil, a culture not accepted in Christian ministry. Gordon also talks about how the Protestants and The White Fathers competed against each other to expand Catholic schools versus schools about evangelist education. The White Fathers were known as missionaries of the African society.

Research in History: Evaluating Sources

David Gordon is a history professor who was awarded best book in knowledge of writing about the African studies.He has published articles in several scholarly journals.His focus is on the African history and how the history is fading away among the African cultures.Gordon's sources are base interviews and his field experience in Zambia. [3] Our history is what helps us understand and knowledgeable about the diversity cultures.

Paul Harvey is a professor who teaches in the field of history. One of his books was awarded the top outstanding academic title by the choice magazine.[1]He was also named a presidential scholar at the University of Colorado. Many of the books he has written focus on the political fundamentalism of African American history. Religious choices that African Americans had to make. I choose his book because of his political background and his text "The Color of Christ," how different social, economic societies picture Jesus as the same as the black or white.[2]Slaves taught to convert to Christianity by their slave owners. Slaves who taught that Jesus was a servant, and he too suffered.

Altobbai is an African journalist, was a creative resource that I research.Altobia, a poet, converts a poem that is later used in a song to express his feeling about the root causes of the cultural conflict between Christianity and Western Education.He wanted to make sure his audience understood the emotions of the poem without creating grief and sorrow. Okot was also a poet and scholar who wrote about his native history. The history taught through the translation of these poems shows how African Americans faced a battle between the African American religion or the culture of Christianity.
