Does the book deal with Tribal Identity and the implications of this? I only know about the Sena people down in Bangula and Nsanje 01:41:36 Lyle Taylor: What role did Hetherwick play in the aftermath of Chilembwe’s uprising? What were his impressions at that time? 01:50:44 Banda: Any comment on the relationship between the Blantyre Mission and the Roman Catholic Church during Heatherwick's time as head of the Blantyre Mission? Did the Catholics and Presbyterians (Protestants) collaborate their efforts of spreading Christianity? 01:58:04 Tobias J. Houston: Do you discuss Duff Macdonald and the “Blantyre Scandal” in your book, and then the subsequent aftermath that Hetherwick would have been faced with in the years following? 02:08:40 Eunice M'biya: Prof. Ross, did Hetherwick face any opposition within and among the protestant missionaries? Would using a different case of a missionary give us a different story about missionaries and their involvement in politics at different periods in the political history of Malawi? 02:14:49 Tobias J. Houston: You mentioned a lack of collaboration with the Catholics. What about with the Anglicans? Another early Yawo translator, Chauncy Maples of the UMCA, spoke very highly of Hetherwick’s translation abilities and basically surrendered any further interest in Yawo Bible translation to Hetherwick. I’m wondering what Hetherwick’s perspective was towards the Anglicans and even toward Chauncy Maples in particular? 02:15:47 hector mackenzie: Is there a plan o publish in paperback? Amazon hardback is selling for £74 00 02:22:44 Felix Chimera Nyika: How did the colonial racial hierarchy manifest itself within BT Synod itself? How do you give voice to the subaltern in this history? Are there traces of a Pan-Africanism in the African voices in the story like, say, in Chilembwe's case? What, in your opinion, could have the Synod done better in race relations? 02:23:17 Eirene Williams: Have you all seen the newly published book Goodbye Dr Banda by Alexander Chula 02:26:21 Stuart Brown: We are talking with Alexander Chula about an event in June around "Goodbye Dr Banda".
