In his thirty years of travel and Christian missionary work in southern, central, and eastern Africa – often in places where no European had previously ventured – Livingstone influenced Western attitudes toward Africa more than any other individual before him.
His discoveries including geographic, technical, medical, and social, provided a complex body of knowledge. In spite of his paternalism and Victorian prejudices, Livingstone believed wholeheartedly in the African’s ability to advance into the modern world. He was, in this sense, a forerunner not only of European imperialism in Africa but also of African nationalism.
