About this deal

Britain - British objective is to train the Africans for complete self-government, within the Commonwealth.

In Nigeria the passion for independence is probably farther advanced and more intelligently advocated than in any other British African colony. Scholars may find that its very scope precludes detailed analysis of any one particular subject, but Mr. Lamb observes, is still in transition from colonialism to self-rule, and nowhere is that more evident than in the changes that have taken place in the few years since he left black-ruled Africa in 1980. While publicly a bon vivant and modest celebrity, Gunther in his private life suffered disappointment and tragedy.Lamb asserts, the West should provide a ''Marshall Plan'' for Africa, rather than pour in undirected aid, how will that differ from the paternalism that has added to the disincentives characterizing the first two decades of the era of independence?

White immigration is discouraged to prevent the racial tensions suffered by the British colonies, and white settlers get as much political rights as natives, which is to say none.

Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 952 pages; Description: xxiii, 952 p. Basutoland, at the time a High Commission Territory and British protectorate, now Lesotho which concentrated mostly on ritual murders. He gets to travel through the beginning of the Algerian Crisis, the Mau Mau Rebellion, and Apartheid, all related to the wider phenomenon of decolonization and the reduction of European influence throughout the continent. Great Britain at this point seemed to realize that colonialism was over, yet at this point they seemed to simply be trying to postpone the end indefinitely. He doesn't like describing places that he hasn't visited and goes to the extent of apparently being the the first non-Portuguese to ever ask the government to visit the Fort of St.But it is impossible to give a fair picture of some African countries without brief descriptions of some trips we took. The British policy is to educate and train the native Africans for self-government, but they hesitate to have a definite date assigned for that purpose. It is when one gets to British East Africa, including Kenya, Tanganyika, and Uganda, that the racial tensions become acute. A chapter on gold and diamonds completed the South Africa section with more vigour, and then a short chapter on 'German' South-West Africa, which is now Namibia.

Gunther wrote his classic memoir Death Be Not Proud, published in 1949, to commemorate the courage and spirit of this extraordinary boy. It was, however, when the Gunthers reached the Union of South Africa that they faced the most violent and difficult interracial situation on the whole continent.Gunther in his short chapter devoted to French West Africa has treated the subject somewhat inadequately. This section goes deep into British governance, then the Mau-Mau, and covers off Zanzibar and relationship between the Sultan and the British Resident. S. for its middle of the road foreign policy regarding African nationalism, and refers to the Apartheid regime as "in some respects the ugliest government I have ever encountered in the free world. The racial tensions which exist in one section are almost wholly different from those prevailing in another. There will be the typical geographic and anthropological color a reader of John Gunther is accustomed to.

There seems to be a disconnect with the Belgians in this book - Gunther seems overwhelmingly positive in spite of the horrendous treatment dished out to the locals. Please also list any non-financial associations or interests (personal, professional, political, institutional, religious or other) that a reasonable reader would want to know about in relation to the submitted work.Owner inscription on front and back paste down pages and a little browning/toning to the end papers and page block edge. Lamb points out, have played a critical role in those nations that have recorded economic successes -but where does the foreign involvement come to an end, and when does the buffer of outside support fall away to force the Africans to help themselves? Everywhere, colonies and protectorates are seething with nationalistic agitation which may or may not be justified.
