The Enigma of Colonialism
The Great War in Africa (1914-1918)
Historical Dictionary of the Gambia (Second Edition)
Ijeshas and Nigerians
Lugard and the Abeokuta Uprising
One is confronted here with strikingly different approaches-Gailey's, a tightly constructed, carefully-documented monograph, and Harrison's, a livelier, more impressionistic account based on contemporary interviews. In the end, Harrison's is the more impressive achievement. Gailey has written a work aimed at specialists and graduate students of Africa and imperialism; Harrison has produced a book for generalists interested in the human condition,…

John Philip's Role in Hottentot Emancipation
Early in 1819 a two-man deputation from the London Missionary Society arrived in Capetown. They had been instructed by the Directors in London to investigate the conditions of the missionary establishment and to make recommendations which would halt its inward decay. John Campbell, the senior member, had only reluctantly accepted the appointment on the understanding that as soon as possible he would return to England. The second man was Dr John P…
