The Rhetoric of Sir Garfield Todd: Christian Imagination and the Dream of an African Democracy (Studies in Rhetoric & Religion)

This work assembles the best of Todd's (available) speeches and provides an analysis of their rhetorical and political significance. Sir Garfield Todd's (1908-2002) lifelong support of African rights earned him initial political success, subsequent imprisonment, and, finally, rightful recognition. Often labeled a liberal in the British political tradition, a closer study of Todd's rhetoric demonstrates that his politics flow directly from his religious heritage―and not from political liberalism.
