Paperback. Condition: Very Good. An extraordinary, passionate and personal journey into Africas past. Meshing together Africas colonial history and the personalities of that time with his own memories of the turbulent twentieth century and its characters, Stephen Taylor will travel from Lake Victoria to the Cape of Good Hope from the place that represents the peak of colonial exploration in Africa to the first settling place of his own family. His description and re-evaluation of the colonial period shows it in all its drama, glamour and disreputableness a wilder version of the Raj. Through this present-day journey, Taylor will trace the legacy of Africas history and, in particular, of the place in it of the Whites. The journey will be a quest for understanding: of the colonial impulse, of his own curious ambivalence towards the great continent in which he grew up, and of the southern African countries in particular South Africas future. It will be a wonderfully evocative, lyrical description of some of the most dramatic lands in the world thoughtful, historical, philosophical travel writing of the best kind. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. DJ and boards show very light shelf wear, pages yellowed as is common in British books of this period.; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; B&W Photographs; 9.2 X 6.1 X 1.2 inches; 260 pages; "Recounting his travels from Lake Victoria to the Cape of Good Hope, Taylor explores what the future holds for the white citizens of the black continent in which he was raised. Although skilled at reporting and storytelling, Taylor is less successful as a social and political thinker. His subjects, an eclectic mix, are not missionaries or explorers and may even lack Livingstone's dignity and vision. That they are white and living in sub-Saharan Africa is all that makes them members of "Livingstone's tribe.".
