Synopsis
Excerpt from The Arab and the African, Experiences in Eastern Equatorial Africa, During a Residence of Three Years
Trade in all its bearings, and that felt by the Missionary or Trader who, about to proceed to East Equatorial Africa, desires to know what he is likely to meet with there, and what preparations he should make before going.
He has limited himself, as far as possible, to describing what he has actually seen and heard. He hopes that his book may throw some new light upon the Slave Trade, and the daily life of the African, as it is written by one who has lived amongst the people as their friend and equal, and who has thus been permitted to see and hear things hidden from the passing traveller, and even from the resident who rules over rather than lives amongst the people with whom he is brought into daily contact. He has been much encouraged in this hope by a letter from Sir C. B. Euan-smith, who, in kindly accepting the dedication of the book expressed his opinion that it would supply a distinct want.
Uganda has been left entirely out of account in the descriptions, partly because the Waganda differ in so many points from other East African races, and partly because they have been so fully described by Mr. Ashe, in his interesting book, Two Kings of Uganda.'

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, an anthropological study by an English author of the late 19th century, offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and experiences of native East Africans, providing us with an understanding of the complexities of a fading era. The author lived amongst the people as a friend and equal, and the insights gained from his time spent with the natives exposed shocking truths about the brutality and dehumanizing effects of the slave trade â" a trade that still prevailed in the region during his time. The author does not shy away from exposing the injustices faced by the African people at the hands of slave traders, and he recognises the inherent worth of the individuals subjected to this horrific treatment. Through vivid descriptions of his encounters, he sheds light on the richness of African culture and the profound impact of European influence. This book is a valuable historical document, showcasing the clash between the so-called civilized world and a complex and misunderstood native culture. It challenges Western ideals and Eurocentric viewpoints, urging readers to question the morality of forceful assimilation and the often brutal impact of colonization. Ultimately, the book serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the universal desire for freedom and dignity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
