Dr Eugène Jamot and Dr Albert Schweitzer became associated with competing forms of development or humanitarian work through the work of their hagiographers and commentators. While this article shows how their reputation resisted the end of their original colonial setting and how it was reinvented in the light of theological and medical interpretations of their lives, it also argues that this memorialisation became closely associated with fragmented groups and to private celebrations of their lives. Ultimately this amounts to a privatisation of heroic reputations. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Imperial & Commonwealth History is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
