Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Good. 256 pages. Cover worn.Reviews Sixty years after his mother, Betty Jackland, came from England to tribal, backwater, colonial Nigeria to marry his district-officer father, Ted arrives to make a documentary film based on her diary. Its pages recreate that t ime in detailthe life of an isolated woman in the overwhelmingly man's world of the British Empire; the ways of the resident Kitaw a and Hausa people; the ambiguities of ``indirect rule''; Betty's identification with native servants (including a houseboy who la ter rises to the rank of spiritual leader). Hovering over the sha dowy events of the past and over a present steeped in corruption and violence is a mysterious shaping event toward which the actio n moves. In 1921, in the shadow of Tefuga hill, the new emir sele cted by the British is killed by the Kitawa women. Given its clim actic significance, this act is strangely undramatizedoccurs, in fact, offstage. While prolific writer Dickinson (The House Party delivers a smoothly phrased, interesting narrative, it is somewha t marred by a sense of anticlimax and a profusion of pedestrian d etail. (April 21).
