In this book, Hilary Sunman considers the day-to-day experience of
her father, Owen, who served in the Colonial Agricultural Service
from 1928-1950. Weaving together a human and family story, she
combines her father's work with her own experience as a development
economist to discuss colonial policy. Focusing on themes such as
All the the 'White Highlands', race, colonial leadership, and the
rise of the Mau Mau, she looks at the academic training in
agricultural science offered as preparation for the colonial
service as well as the attraction of Africa and the idealism felt
by many young officers. Using her family as a case study, she
examines the realities of life in Kenya for the wives and children
of colonial officers, as well as for the officers themselves.
