It was a major tool in the Christianising/civilising process with a view to forming compliant Christians and destroying students’ commitments to their traditional cultures. Lovedale Missionary Institution is studied as a major locus of the transformation of black students through its WHAM (winning hearts and minds) programme. This transformation affected their spiritual, social, cultural and educational development.184431 bytesapplication/pdfenChurch History Society of Southern AfricaEducation in Mission schoolsSuperiority -- Racism -- CivilizationsBlack cultures -- South AfricaChurch schools -- South AfricaBlacks -- Education -- South AfricaRacism in educationLovedale InstitutionMissions -- South AfricaPersonality developmentCivilization -- South AfricaWinning hearts and minds : character formation in mission education with special reference to Lovedale Missionary InstitutionArticle
