Southern Africa is unique in its culture and civilization. Its history of last four centuries is the most important and interesting one for the historians of Africa as well as researchers. In colonial period identity, political consciousness and new social order of southern African people were based on the western colonialists and missionaries’ representations and models. Both groups, missionaries and colonialists, view the region from the same angle because of their similar instrumental approach. Their prejudices and biases towards southern Africa lean towards Western superiority and African inferiority for material and spiritual exploitation. They claimed superiority of Christianity over southern African religious traditions and they also condemned it as superstitious and heathen. The missionaries’ historical texts are primary source of modern consistent historiography of southern Africa and they collaborated with European colonialists. However they presented southern African people, uncultured, and barbarians, as a rationale of imperialism. Their understanding of the internal dynamics of southern African history primarily formed the perspectives of colonialism; it is demand of postcolonial era to cure the curse of the misperceptions and to understand nature of religious traditions, culture and civilization of southern Africa. After the demise of colonialism revisionist trend, among the historians of southern Africa, became popular to retell the story of the civilization of the region. This study consists of postmodern critique of missionaries’ historiography of southern Africa. In the light of revisionism it would be possible to draw the real picture of southern Africa and to formulate new principles of historiography of the continent.
