In the long history of the British Empire there are few stories as
singular as that of Margery Perham. From the moment she first set
foot on African soil in 1921, to her death over sixty years later,
Perham was focused on the ways and means of Britain's
administration of its African domains. She acquired an unrivalled
expertise in all aspects of this branch of empire: its systems of
governance and those who administered them; its economic impact;
its geo-strategic implications and its effect on Africans,
including their sense of nationalism and attitudes towards the end
of empire. She spent a long and varied career exploring the
continent as a traveller, academic, prolific author, and high-level
government policy adviser. In later years, Dame Margery Perham, as
she became in 1965, was Britain's best-known voice on the end of
empire and African independence. In this new biography, the first
of its kind and based primarily on Perham's extensive private
papers, C. Brad Faught tells her life story in all its richness
while throwing fresh light on Britain's twentieth-century imperial
experience.
