Dr. John S. Benson (professor in the School of Teaching and Learning) recently had his book  (Title: Missionary Families Find a Sense of Place and Identity: Two Generations on Two Continents) published by Lexington Books. Based on over ninety interviews and John’s extensive knowledge of culture geography, he compares the lives of the missionary generation who grew up in the United States and went to Tanzania as missionaries to those of their children who grew up in Africa but settled in the United States as adults. John blends his personal experiences as a child of missionaries in Tanzania to tell the story of both generations.
