This is a psychological novel set in West Africa, dealing directly with the impact of European civilization and colonial-era modernization on an African society. From the wrapper, "Mark Freshfield tells here with imaginative sympathy the story of a brilliant West African boy and his search for what he conceived to be success by Western standards."
Condition
A good copy. There is foxing to the page edges and dustwrapper's folds, and the wrapper's spine is a little faded but it remains in strong readable condition.
