A nuanced biography of a complex man--one who ran a colonial magazine but was appreciated by Africans as someone who genuinely understood them.
Jonathan Derrick is a freelance editor and scholar who for twenty years served on the editorial staff of West Africa magazine. He has published several scholarly articles on African history and, with Ralph Austen, is the co-author of Middlemen of the Cameroons River: The Duala and Their Hinterland, c.1600--c.1960.
