Thomas
Hodgkin, born in 1910 into Britain's intellectual aristocracy,
was an instinctive radical in his politics. His writings on
the politics and history of Africa helped change Western
perceptions of Africa.
This
selection of his letters home covers seven journeys in the
decade of dying colonialism and the ascendancy of African
nationalism which was to replace colonialism and transform
Africa in the coming decades.
The
letters take the reader on travels across Anglophone and
Francophone Africa, and to Islamic centres, in the company of
an independent and sympathetic observer. Here are sketches of
the young African activists - among them Kwame Nkrumah and
Nnamdi Azikiwe - who were the catalysts for change and became
the prime ministers and presidents of the independent states.
Here too are portraits of colonial officialdom in the latter
days of European administration in Africa. The collection is
enhanced by the extensive and carefully researched notes by
the editors.
BASIL
DAVIDSON says about this book '... a vivid historical
document'.
MELVYN
BRAGG writes
'… absorbing letters of a remarkable Englishman.'

boundaries have played an ignominious role in precipitating
