This paper explores the life of the Basel missionary Edmond Perregaux (1868-1905) in Switzerland and among the Akan of Ghana. It is concerned with the construction and expression of his selfhood in and between two different worlds in the later nineteenth century under the aegis of an ever advancing globalization. In brief, the paper looks at a Swiss missionary as an actor in Africa and among Africans and reflects upon the matter of reconciling and integrating these two arenas of experience in the formation of his individual subjectivity. It is aimed at creating a much needed bridge between the discrete concerns of Missionary and Africanist historians, and to suggest within the framework of a single individual life the possibilities for a richer, more textured understanding of personhood when all due attention is paid to the interactions between the shaping environments of both home and abroad.

La seconde patrie of a Basel Missionary: 艾德蒙·佩雷加在阿寒人生活中的铭文、倾向和主动性

本文探讨了巴塞尔传教士 Edmond Perregaux (1868-1905) 在瑞士和加纳阿坎人的生活。它关注在 19 世纪后期在不断推进的全球化的支持下，他在两个不同世界中和之间的自我构建和表达。简而言之，本文将一位瑞士传教士视为在非洲和非洲人中间的行动者，并反思在他个人主观性的形成过程中调和和整合这两个经验领域的问题。它旨在在传教士和非洲主义历史学家的离散关注之间建立急需的桥梁，并在单一个人生活的框架内提出更富有的可能性，
