EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Alexander Murdock Mackay, a Scottish author and lay agent of the English Church Missionary Society in Uganda, around Lake Victoria Nyanza. The image was taken in 1876, as Mackay embarked on his momentous journey to Africa, a land that would become his home for the next three decades. Born in Edinburgh in 1841, Mackay's passion for Africa was ignited by reading Livingstone's "Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa." He joined the Church Missionary Society in 1865 and was soon sent to Uganda. Mackay's tenure in Africa was marked by unwavering dedication, courage, and resilience. He faced numerous challenges, including hostile tribes, disease, and isolation, but remained steadfast in his mission to bring education and Christianity to the people of Uganda. Mackay's literary contributions are also noteworthy. He wrote extensively about his experiences in Africa, providing valuable insights into the culture, customs, and challenges of the region. His works include "African Studies," "Life in Uganda," and "The Baganda and Their Neighbours." Mackay's writings were instrumental in shaping the Western perception of Africa and its people, and his influence can be traced in the works of later Africanists and missionaries. The Illustrated London News once hailed Mackay as "one of the ablest and bravest and most constant labourers in the cause of African civilisation." This portrait is a testament to the indomitable spirit of a man who dedicated his life to the betterment of others, and whose legacy continues to inspire and inform our understanding of Africa and its people.
