Your title mentions converts, but your background and scope doesn't. I recently wrote a paper about my parents (who are converts) as being my pioneer heritage. When you mention converts in your title, do you mean to talk about recent converts? Or specifically converts that became pioneers? Either way it will be an interesting paper. Try writing your paper for the symposium instead of for Dr. Hallen; see how it transforms your writing. Well done.
A very intersting topic, some of my ancestors are from Africa so I would be interested to read your completed paper. Althogh your abstract is to the point, I feel that your scope is quite broad (Africa is a huge place!), I was wondering if there's a particular group or counrty in Africa that you will be writing about?
