Tempels addressed Bantu Philosophy to colonizers seeking to Christianize Africans

Evidence

Tempels makes it clear that Bantu Philosophy is written for those Europeans “who wish to civilize, educate and raise the Bantu … all colonizers with good will, and most particularly missionaries.” Bantu Philosophy is a book that can help colonizers understand “the soul of the Bantu” so that they can successfully colonize and Christianize them. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 725
