Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This groundbreaking history reclaims the lost story of Jan Tzatzoe, an African intermediary and intellectual whose remarkable life epitomizes the initial possibilities and ultimate tragedy of the colonial encounter in South Africa and Great Britain. "This is a fascinating and frequently moving book, packed with unexpected detail and beautifully crafted. A rich micro history of the life of an African chief, diplomat and Christian evangelist who was ultimately betrayed by the colonial state, A Living Man from Africa also raises penetrating wider questions about the lived experience of colonialism."-Elizabeth Elbourne, McGill University New Directions in Narrative History
