A study of the "ecstatic" nature of the early encounters between Africans and European explorers and missionaries in Central Africa. Fabian shows how the claims to rationality of the explorers fall apart under scrutiny--how they were often "out of their minds," in extraordinary states influenced by opiates, alcohol, sex, fever, fatigue, and violence.
