Central Africa South Africa This is the story of the author's journey to document some of the last vestiges of white settlement in Southern Africa. By the end of the millennium, the white population of East and South Africa has dwindled to the extent that they are no longer a statistically significant ethnic population in Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda or Zambia. In the few decades since the surge to settle these once European colonies, the political environment and independence have swept away most of these European settlers who only had "short roots". The author was born in South Africa, where Caucasians have slightly longer roots. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
An extraordinary, passionate and personal journey into Africa's past. 'The most enthralling account out of Africa for years.' Daily Mail.'"Livingstone's Tribe" is excellent...Taylor is an intelligent and stimulating companion.' Financial Times'At the book's heart is a riveting examination of Livingstone's tribe...the whites of post-independence Africa.' Independent on Sunday'Taylor's expedition into the interior of the continent's colonial past has got everything that such a book should have.' Guardian'Stephen Taylor, a third-generation 'migr' of British descent, finds a melancholy collection of white misfits and failures...as well as a heroic, dwindling clutch of missionaries still holding the line. The catalogue of theft, corruption, murder and superstition that Taylor chronicles makes appalling, fascinating reading. Yet Taylor is no Colonel Blimp, rather an anti-apartheid liberal who fled the old South Africa and welcomed independence for Mugabe's Zimbabwe.' Daily Mail'Sights and travel experiences are vividly described and people both from Livingstone's and from the other tribes are handled particularly well.' Sunday Times Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
