Meshing Africa's colonial history with his own memories of the turbulent 20th century, TIMES journalist Stephen Taylor travels from Lake Victoria to the Cape of Good Hope. The journey is a quest for understanding; of the colonial impulse, of his own curious ambivalence towards the great continent in which he was raised, and of the Future of the southern African countries. At the book's heart is a riveting examination of Livingstone's tribe: the whites of post-Independence Africa.
