About This Item
1890 1st ed Salvation Army In Darkest England William Booth Africa Humanitarian
"The greatness of the man's power is the measure of his surrender."
― William Booth
William Booth was a 19th-century British Methodist who is most-known for establishing the Salvation Army. His theories on socialism and care for others helped shape approaches to civilized welfare. His best-selling book "In Darkest England" was a contrast to the idea of 'Darkest Africa' which was considered poor and underprivileged to the life in England. Booth's controversial stance was that post-Industrial Revolution England was no better off than the life in Africa.
Booth wanted to end poverty. He proposed homes for homeless and establishing farms for to feed the hungry and provide jobs for the impoverished. This rare, first edition was published the same year as H.M. Stanley's 'Darkest Africa' – a direct response to the famous African cultural book.
