"The Way of the White Fields in Rhodesia" is a compelling historical account of Christian missionary expansion in southern and central Africa during the early 20th century. Authored by the prominent missionary and anthropologist Edwin W. Smith, this work provides a detailed survey of the evangelical landscape in the territories then known as Rhodesia. The narrative focuses on the spiritual and social impact of mission work, detailing the various challenges and successes encountered by those seeking to establish the church in a complex cultural environment.

Drawing upon his extensive firsthand experience, Smith examines the relationship between European missions and indigenous populations, offering insights into the linguistic and ethnographic developments of the period. The book serves as both a missiological report and a call for continued dedication to the African mission field, emphasizing the symbolic "white fields" ready for harvest. "The Way of the White Fields in Rhodesia" is an essential resource for readers interested in the history of Zimbabwe and Zambia, the evolution of global Christianity, and the intersection of faith and colonialism in Africa.
