This is the first full- length historical analysis of Victoria
Falls. The text offers a critical examination of Victoria Falls
providing new insight into the British Southern African project and
reveals how Victoria Falls became one of the first modern African
tourist destinations. This book makes a case for a critical reading
of Victoria Falls as much more than a localized natural wonder.
Europeans with multiple and often competing agendas, as well as
African leaders and laborers were brought into contact with one
another at Victoria Falls. Their visions of the past and hopes for
the future shared Victoria Falls as a common point of inspiration.
The value these parties placed on the Falls extended far beyond its
location on the Zambezi and had broad implications for the British
Empire in Southern and Central Africa.
