Bridging the Gap, Breaching Barriers is a significant contribution to mission historiography, both in substance and method. Cloutier has plumbed the depths of private documents, letters, and diaries to tell the story of people of African descent and women, whose substantial and often heroic contributions to the life of the mission were eclipsed, if not hidden by official mission documents and reports. In this amazing story I felt like a detective sleuth discovering remarkable people in mission who had been completely forgotten if not removed from the official mission record.”

—Darrell Whiteman, Founder and Director, Global Development



“Mary Cloutier’s important study of the American Protestant mission in Gabon reveals all too clearly the way American struggles over race and gender shaped the mission’s life and work. She draws on a careful reading of mission reports and mainly white missionary letters and diaries, but she has also listened for the ‘hidden transcripts’ of Africans—especially ‘Bible women’—who did much of the evangelization around the Gabon estuary. The result is a fascinating and tumultuous story of complex men and women who were part of a larger US and African story.”

—Erskine Clarke, author of By the Rivers of Water: A Nineteenth Century Atlantic Odyssey
