This article examines the lives of two mixed-race evangelists, Samuel Barber (1783–1828) and Edward Fraser (1798–1872). Born in London, Barber, whose father was a manumitted slave, became a Primitive Methodist lay preacher in Staffordshire. Fraser, born in Barbados, was illegitimate; his mother was enslaved. Freed at the age of twenty-nine, he became a prominent Wesleyan Methodist missionary and minister in Antigua, Bermuda, Dominica, Jamaica, and St Kitts. The article pays particular attention to these men’s racial heritage.

Despite portrayals of John Wesley and early Methodist leaders as proto-proponents of civil rights, their Arminian anti-slavery stance was hardly what scholars Ibram X. Kendi and Anthony G. Reddie term ‘anti-racist’. There remained in their writings evidence of empire that upheld racist constructs. What if, rather than decrying colonists’ desire for independence, Wesley had helped them see that fighting for enslaved persons’ freedom might assist their own efforts at liberation from tyranny? Confronting the persistence of racism even amid anti-slavery in Wesley and early Methodism aids in developing an alternative lens to empire that can help their descendants today.

C. Norris
This article explores why John Wesley was slow to condemn the East India Company for its brutal exploitation of the Indian subcontinent in the late eighteenth century. One reason may have been a hope that the Company would support Methodist missionaries; another his friendship with Ebenezer Blackwell, who was active in Company affairs. A letter sent to shareholders in the mid-1760s suggests that Wesley was supporting efforts to stabilize the Company and secure its long-term partnership with the government. These failed, and the Company entered a period when short-term profit-seeking dominated its decisions, causing Wesley to finally speak out.

This article examines how John Wesley described the people of Africa, with particular reference to the people of West Africa and the ‘inhabitants of the Cape of Good Hope’. While Wesley has been rightly praised for his opposition to the enslavement of Africans, his descriptions of African people involved editing material from various sources in order to serve theological and rhetorical purposes directed toward his British readers. This produced distorted depictions that did not justly describe the people of Africa. These depictions exhibited ‘invincible prejudice’ and failed to meet Wesley’s own standards of honouring others as children of God.

This article argues that the missionary language of the Women’s Parent Mite Missionary Society of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was cast in familial and kinship nomenclature that eschewed the evil of racial hierarchy. Although routine missionary vernacular about heathen Africa and its need for Christianization and civilization appeared in the rhetoric of AME women, they more deeply expressed a diasporic consciousness that obligated Black people on both sides of the Atlantic to resist Euro-American hegemony. The capacious embrace of the WPMMS for Black women—whether in the United States, the Caribbean, or Africa—actualized their vision for maternal and sisterly interaction in contrast to the racial condescension prevalent among white women in their respective American and European missionary groups.
