“This richly detailed and highly readable book is a valuable contribution to Tanzanian history, women’s history, and the history of Christianity in Africa. Sisters in Spirit takes us into the lives of several generations of East African women as they navigate matters of friendship, spirituality, fertility, and morality in the entangled worlds of the church, empire, and nationstate. By focusing on the everyday lives and labors of Christian women, Prichard finds a unique and intimate vantage point from which to tell the history of a critical century in East Africa.”—Emily Callaci, Assistant Professor, Department of History, University of Wisconsin–Madison
