LAST DAYS IN CLOUD CUCKOOLAND by Graham Boynton

Last Days In Cloud Cuckooland is Graham Boynton's account of the final gasps of white power on the continent, from the flight of the Belgian refugees from the Congo in 1960 through the first years of Nelson Mandela's presidency in South Africa. In a series of graphic accounts of the human dramas marking this disorderly retreat, he illuminates the complexity and ambiguity of the role of the whites in Africa.  It is an evocative story, and as it unfolds the author is drawn towards a controversial conclusion. If the whites did a rather poor job of making Africa work, he argues, then their African  successors have done considerably worse.
