Jesuits have been in Africa since they were founded, yet their history there remains poorly documented. Although scholars have started to focus on specific regions like Congo, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe, a comprehensive picture of the entire Jesuit experience on the continent is still lacking. In a condensed yet accessible way, Jesuits in Africa fills that lacuna. Narrating the story century by century from the time of St. Ignatius of Loyola (c.1491-1556), founder of the Jesuits, to that of Pedro Arrupe (1907-91, in office 1965-83), 28th general superior of the Society, the book makes Jesuit history in Africa available to a general readership while offering scholars a broad view in which specialized topics can be conceived and deepened.

In this volume, Festo Mkenda, SJ, a leading voice in studies on the Society of Jesus in Africa, turns his attention to the little-known history of the Jesuit presence in modern Ethiopia. Marking the recent seventy-fifth anniversary of the arrival of a small group of Canadian Jesuits in 1945—the first sustained presence in over three hundred years—the book outlines the origins and modern history of the Jesuits in Ethiopia. Bringing to life their story in vivid detail, it will be of interest both inside Ethiopia and its diaspora, as well as to all of those interested in Africa and the Church today.
