A characteristically unconventional and engaging work, Carmel
Schrire's Tigers in Africa: Stalking the Past at the Cape of Good
Hope interweaves such diverse themes as colonial slavery and
apartheid, human and carnivore evolution, and science and romance
to show how we create the past and understand the present.
Schrire recounts the significance of the palaeontological
findings of Raymond Dart, Robert Ardrey, and Glynn Isaac addressing
a famous dispute about carnivore evolution that flourished in the
heyday of apartheid. She sets pioneering exploration of the globe
against archaeological surveys and romantic quests in the African
desert and contrasts the dark days of colonial slavery at the Cape
with the bright prospects of Nelson Mandela's legacy there.
