Despite facing significant hardships, including a difficult childhood marked by poverty and the death of her father, Slessor developed a strong sense of purpose and a desire to help others. Inspired by her faith and the work of missionaries, she decided to dedicate her life to missionary work, ultimately setting her sights on Africa.Once in Calabar, Slessor confronted the realities of colonialism and the local customs, including practices that she found morally troubling, such as the killing of twins, whom many locals believed were cursed. With remarkable determination, she worked to change these beliefs, advocating for the protection of vulnerable children and offering care and education to those in need. Bueltmann portrays Slessor not only as a missionary but also as a cultural ambassador, who sought to understand and respect the traditions of the people while advocating for positive change.The narrative also emphasizes Slessors deep connection with the people of Calabar, earning her the title "White Queen of the Cannibals" as she navigated the complexities of cultural exchange and became a beloved figure in the community. Bueltmann details Slessors challenges, including illness, isolation, and the difficulties of her work, while celebrating her legacy as a pioneer in social reform and education.</p>...7099060White Queen of the Cannibals: the Story of Mary Slessor of Calabar2020https://www.gandhi.com.mx/white-queen-of-the-cannibals--the-story-of-mary-slessor-of-calabar-9789370745124/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7076691/image.jpg?v=638810241721330000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
