Written by a member of the last generation of British Colonial
Service Officers in Africa, the book seeks to place both 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. Colonialism is viewed at the day to
day level of the administration of a rural district 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, Granta (TM)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.
