Thomas Hodgkin, born in 1910 into Britain's intellectual aristocracy, was an instinctive radical thinker. His writings on the politics and history of Africa at a turning point in the continent's history helped change Western perceptions of Africa.This selection of his letters home covers seven journeys in the decade of dying colonialism and the ascendancy of African nationalism which was to replace colonialism and transform Africa in the coming decades. The collection is enhanced by the extensive and carefully researched notes by the editors.
