Produktbeschreibung
As a member of the last generation of British Colonial Service Officers in Africa, Grant seeks to place both the colonial rulers and their African successors in the context of history and the circumstances of their time, viewing their achievements and failures critically but not unsympathetically and comparing colonial society with that of the independent African country that Northern Rhodesia has become. In the spirit of the post- post colonial, he brings colonialism from a level of abstraction to that of application, viewing it at the day to day level of the administration of a rural district of some 20,000 square miles by four officers and a handful of African district messengers, who worked together without even a telephone to assist them. With a wealth of detail that can only come from experience, Grant's work makes an important contribution to the understanding of a time, place, period and practices that are only now being considered in a balanced way.
