Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portuguese East Africa: The History, Scenery,& Great Game of Manica and Sofala This book is intended for the traveller, the sportsman, and for him whose delight lies in those scenes of natural unembellished beauty and grandeur which Africa possesses in such profusion and variety. So many are the books constantly published upon this great continent, that my only excuse for adding another to their number is my unwillingness that the large and important territory of which, in the course of the following pages, I have attempted a brief and inadequate description, should longer remain, as it has too long remained, in that condition of partial illumination which is, so to speak, neither light nor darkness; and if, in no matter how small a degree, I have succeeded in directing the attention of those interested in African matters to this interesting and important region, I shall feel that my effort has not been fruitless.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xii A day among the game Let me now endeavour to place before my readers as realistic a description as possible of a day with the game. I do not mean among the more exotic forms, such as elephants, rhinoceroses, or buffaloes, but the varieties which any sportsman of average activity may hope to find in the course of an ordinary day's sport. It is the hour of dawn, and a dim light comes from a pale saffron, easterly flush. Faint stars are growing fainter. The dew from the big mopani tree, under which the tent is pitched, falls in resounding drops on the moisture-tightened canvas. The crickets are still shrilling in the neighbouring high grass, and it is cold--very cold. Khaki knee-breeches and hunting shirt feel chilly to the skin, and the warm ulster, which was so comfortable last night, is hastily put on whilst boots are laced and gaiters buttoned. Outside the tent, and in the servant's "msassa," there is an air of subdued bustle, whilst low voices come from the shelter which the carriers have made for themselves, and where they are sitting round heaps of glowing embers, blankets over shoulders and knees touching chins. A shelter consisting of a grass roof roughly thrown upon a hastily constructed framework of branches. A table hastily set before the door of the tent contains a pot of coffee or chocolate, also a couple of thick slices of Westphalian sausage, and some jam and bread. In the intervals between getting out the guns, filling cartridge-belts, gauging the contents of water-bottles, and making sure that nothing is forgotten, this frugal but excellent early breakfast is partaken of, and finally the gunbearers present themselves with deep ventral yawns furtively munching cold, solid-looking fragments of last night's...

Download or read book From Peking to Mandalay A Journey from North China to Burma through Tibetan Ssuch uan and Yunnan written by Sir Reginald Fleming Johnston and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The journey of which an account is given in the following pages was not undertaken in the special interests of geographical or other science nor in the service of any Government. My chief object was to gratify a long-felt desire to visit those portions of the Chinese Empire which are least known to Europeans, and to acquire some knowledge of the various tribes subject to China that inhabit the wild regions of Chinese Tibet and north-western Yunnan. Though nearly every part of the Eighteen Provinces has in recent years been visited and described by European travellers, my route between Tachienlu and Li-chiang was one which—so far as I am aware—no British subject had ever traversed before me, and of which no description in book-form has hitherto appeared in any European language. From the ethnological point of view the Chinese Far West—to which the greater part of this book is devoted—is one of the most interesting regions in the world, and presents problems the solution of which would settle many of the vexed questions relating to the origin and inter-relations of the Asiatic peoples. As for its geographical interest, it may be sufficient to say here that the principalities of Chala and Muli contain what are probably the highest spots inhabited by man on the face of the globe, and that several of the passes crossed by my little caravan are loftier than the highest of the passes existing along the route traversed by the British expedition to Lhasa. My own contributions to geographical and ethnological lore are of the slenderest; but if I can persuade some of my readers that Tibetan Ssuch'uan and western Yunnan are worth visiting, be it only for the glory of their mountain scenery, I shall consider that my book has fulfilled the most useful purpose to which it aspires. For those who are seized by a craving to revert for a time to something like the nomadic life of our remote forefathers, or to pass like the old Hindu ascetics into "the homeless state," there can be no country in the world more full of charm than some of the wilder and less-peopled regions of the Chinese Empire. There are enormous areas in that country covered with primeval forests in which man's foot has never trod, lofty mountains whose peaks are crowned with sparkling diadems of eternal snow, grand and savage gorges in which Nature has carved for herself in indelible letters the story of the world's youth, and gloomy chasms through which rush the mighty rivers that carry to the Indian Ocean and the Pacific snows that melted on the white roof of the world. And amid all this magnificence and desolation there are lovely valleys and stretches of garden-land that might have been chosen as the Edens of a hundred mythologies, and which in historic times have been the homes of religious recluses and poets, who, like others of their kind in Western lands, found in silence and solitude a refuge from the bitterness and pain of the world, or a hermitage in which, amid scenes of perennial beauty, they could weave their flowers of thought into immortal garlands of human words.
Download or read book Rethinking White Societies in Southern Africa written by Duncan Money and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases new research by emerging and established scholars on white workers and the white poor in Southern Africa. Rethinking White Societies in Southern Africa challenges the geographical and chronological limitations of existing scholarship by presenting case studies from Angola, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe that track the fortunes of nonhegemonic whites during the era of white minority rule. Arguing against prevalent understandings of white society as uniformly wealthy or culturally homogeneous during this period, it demonstrates that social class remained a salient element throughout the twentieth century, how Southern Africa’s white societies were often divided and riven with tension and how the resulting social, political and economic complexities animated white minority regimes in the region. Addressing themes such as the class-based disruption of racial norms and practices, state surveillance and interventions – and their failures – towards nonhegemonic whites, and the opportunities and limitations of physical and social mobility, the book mounts a forceful argument for the regional consideration of white societies in this historical context. Centrally, it extends the path-breaking insights emanating from scholarship on racialized class identities from North America to the African context to argue that race and class cannot be considered independently in Southern Africa. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of southern African studies, African history, and the history of race.
