Who was Alice Kinloch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
It is thought that Kinloch was born c1863 in Cape Province, South Africa, and died around c1946 in Tanganyika (today\u2019s Tanzania). During her lifetime, Kinloch was a prominent public speaker in Britain, bringing attention to the maltreatment and oppression of African miners in Kimberley, where she had grown up. Associating with other \u2018critics of empire\u2019, explains Adi, Alice travelled all around Britain, engaging with several different liberal and progressive organisations, to spread awareness of the exploitation involved in mining work. Kinloch also discussed missionaries\u2019 complicity in the system of exploitation, which was, explains Adi, incredibly controversial at the time.<\/p>\n
