HANNA, A.J. - The Story of the Rhodesias and Nyasaland - (1st Edition Hardcover in Wrapper)

 Book and wrapper still in very good condition - Better than the one shown - 1960.   >>>   ‘The dissolution of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland brought almost to an end the British era in all three territories. That era was relatively brief but it was of the utmost importance to the African inhabitants of the region. Its importance lay not only in what the British directly and intentionally achieved but also in the stimulus which they gave to the indigenous peoples both by instruction and example and by provoking resentment and thereby arousing a nationalist movement directed to overthrowing their rule and yet continuing much of their work. This book which Dr Hanna has thoroughly revised and brought up to date for its second edition records the rise and fall of British supremacy and its effects upon the African population from the coming of the first missionaries and traders to the dissolution of the Federation. It explains how the three territories took shape and how they attained a sufficient measure of economic social and political development to enable their inhabitants to claim the status of sovereign nation-states.’   * Rhodesiana * History & Politics *
