Title: Where's the history?
Product review: Big disappointment. Published so soon after Hartley?s ?Zanzibar Chest? it seems a rushed, ?me too? narrative.French, despite his genetic link to the continent writes with the empathy for Africa expected of a US journalist dispatched for a few years two to the Dark Continent. Hartley, a white Kenyan, on the other hand simply ?gets-it?.I had hoped for much more detail of West Africa?s pre-colonial history and culture, but it failed on that level also.
