Taking advantage of one of the rare occasions when we had a free day, we paid a visit to Chiconga, M'Tassa's favourite daughter. The chieftainess inhabited a kraal five miles distant from New Umtali. It was said to be a very picturesque spot, and well worth a visit. Accompanied by Mr. Walter Sutton, and attended by two native boys, we therefore set out one morning soon after six o'clock. We were on foot; the boys carrying beads and limbo, as we wished to trade for a cow. Our path led us for some distance along the high road to Fort Salisbury, a picturesque track, winding between thickly-wooded hills. Here and there it struck over the open veldt, skirting the strange granite kopjes, which form an important feature in Mashonaland landscape. These piles of colossal boulders, springing abruptly from a tableland of veldt, look as if they had been built up by giants. Trees clothe the summit of these kopjes, and wild beasts lurk in the caves formed by their overhanging rocks. On the topmost pinnacle of the largest of them, Chiconga and her...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Nobody in Mashonaland: Or the Trials and Adventures of a Tenderfoot Preface. Now, I am most exceedingly anxious to do the proper thing. I apprehend, however, that a preface is only of interest and of value when one has anything to say in it; and that is just where my difficulty comes in. Anything I have to say has been said in the book itself. I have no egotistic platitudes to offer here: there is nothing I want to apologise for - I am informed that a great many authors make apology the chief function of a preface - nothing I want to explain; nothing I want to add; nothing I want to retract. I infer that at the time you are perusing this preface - if you waste your time by perusing it at all - you have already bought the book - or borrowed it. I have therefore nothing to gain by soliciting your sympathy or your patronage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Surfacing Up written by Lynette Jackson and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the history of the Ingutsheni Lunatic Asylum (renamed a mental hospital after 1933), situated near Bulawayo in the former Southern Rhodesia, Surfacing Up explores the social, cultural, and political history of the colony that became Zimbabwe after gaining its independence in 1980. The phrase "surfacing up" was drawn from a conversation Lynette A. Jackson had with a psychiatric nurse who used the concept to explain what brought African potential patients into the psychiatric system. Jackson uses Ingutsheni as a reference point for the struggle to "domesticate" Africa and its citizens after conquest. Drawing on the work of Frantz Fanon, Jackson maintains that the asylum in Southern Rhodesia played a significant role in maintaining the colonial social order. She supports Fanon's claim that colonial psychiatric hospitals were repositories for those of "indocile nature" or for those who failed to fit "the social background of the colonial type." Through reconstruction and reinterpretation of patient narratives, Jackson shows how patients were diagnosed, detained, and deemed recovered. She draws on psychiatric case files to analyze the changing economic, social, and environmental conditions of the colonized, the varying needs of the white settlers, and the shifting boundaries between these two communities. She seeks to extend and enrich our understanding of how a significant institution changed the way citizens and subjects experienced the colonial social order.
