Paperback Description:
When Lady Lugard sat down to write A Tropical Dependency, it was not her intention to inspire generations of Africans to regain the independence of their countries. Lugard writes of slavery as though it was a God-given right of Europeans to own Africans as slaves. Ironically, her text on Africa’s place in history reaffirms the belief that, If Africa did it once, Africa can do it again; Introduction by John Henry Clarke.
