Joseph John Doke (1861-1913) was an English Baptist Minister. He travelled to Cape Town in 1882 to establish a Baptist church at Graaff- Reinet. He also went to India to study mission stations. He was president of the Baptist Union of South Africa from 1906 to 1907. In 1909, he wrote a biographical sketch of Ghandi under the title M. K. Gandhi: Indian Patriot in South Africa. In 1913, he wrote his first novel The Secret City: A Romance of the Karroo. His second novel, The Queen of the Secret City, was published in 1916 after his death. Due to the age and scarcity of the original work, some small sections of text may be affected.

M. K. Gandhi: Indian Patriot in South Africa by Rev. Joseph John DokeI have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could. In doing so I have sometimes erred and learnt by my errors. Life and its problems have thus become to me so many experiments in the practice of truth and non-violence.
Insights from the Lives of Olive Doke and Paul Kasonga for Pioneer Mission and Church Planting Today deals with the question of the hand over process of pioneer missionaries to the first indigenous leaders in church planting missions situations. It recognises the fact this process when wrongly handled has caused a lot of harm to the work of missions. The case study in this thesis, which took place at the start of Baptist work in Zambia, shows one example in which it was done exceptionally well. The researcher also uses biblical interpretation and qualitative empirical analysis to augment his research. He finally posits that the mutual respect and mutual admiration between Olive Doke and Paul Kasonga is what led to this admirable result.
Provides primary sources about Gandhi's life using Gandhi's own writings where possible, or otherwise the writings of those who knew him best.

This book provides the first historical and comparative study of the ‘transnational activist’. A range of important recent scholarship has considered the rise of global social movements, the presence of transnational networks, and the transfer or diffusion of political techniques. Much of this writing has registered the pivotal role of ‘transnational’ or ‘global’ activists. However, if the significance of the ‘transnational activist’ is now routinely acknowledged, then the history of this actor is still something of a mystery. Most commentators have associated the figure with contemporary history. Hence much of the debate around ‘transnational activism’ is ahistorical, an...
