Africa to me

the long version

An ace reporter, who knows Africa not from one hasty look but from many visits dating from 1962 back to the early thirties, gives her personal, eye-witness account of what is going on in Africa today. She pays particular attention to the problems arising out of emergent nationalism, as described by the people she talked with, traveled with, and lived with -- people of diverse races, nationalities, and points of view. The result is a book full of original comment and diverse people, from leaders like Jomo Kenyatta and Tom Mboya, to white civil servants and farmers who are being crowded out by "Africanization."
