One White Man in Black Africa

0/5 ( ratings)

The challenging task of serving as a district officer in Tangsnyika in the closing years of the British Empire falls to a young mand thirsty for the space, travel and exciting challenge which Africa seemed to offer. He finds satisfaction and frustrations aplenty in his work, and enormous delight in exploring East Africa's magnificent mountains and the beckoning wilderness. After Tanganyika's attainment of independence he makes the transition from colonial administrator to expatriate teacher, finding a continuing fulfilment in this new work and still regarding Africa as an endless source of fascination and challenge.

John Cooke is now a Professor of Enviornmental Science at the University of Botswana where he has worked since 1971. His account of his forty years in Africa is told with self-effacing humour and evident understanding and love for Africa and it's peoples.
