The Lumpa Church of Alice Lenshina, Andrew Roberts's chapter in Protest and Power in Black Africa, edited by Robert I. Rotberg and Ali A. Mazrui, Oxford University Press, 1970, covers Alice Lenshina and the Lumpa Church: her 1953 visions, the movement's rapid growth, and its violent 1964 confrontation with the newly independent Zambian state. Its strength is that it is squarely the fact's own subject, named directly as the standard academic history of the episode. Its limit is that it is a book chapter rather than a full monograph, so depth on any one aspect of the episode is necessarily more compressed than a dedicated study would give it.
