This article examines the efforts of missionaries in Cape Palmas, Liberia, to create written texts in the Grebo language using Roman script. Led by Reverend John Leighton Wilson, the missionaries printed various texts, including primers, religious books, and Bible stories, with the aim of teaching the Grebo language, Christian values, and Anglo-American social ideals. The texts also provide insights into the cultural and linguistic exchanges between the missionaries and the Grebo people. Additionally, the article discusses the smaller tracts printed at the Fair Hope mission, which were widely distributed and may have served as physical markers of affiliation with the mission and offered protection to Grebos in a politically volatile climate. Overall, the article highlights the complex relationship between missionaries, settlers, and Grebos in Cape Palmas. [Extracted from the article] |
