About This Item
(London: Museum Press, 1955). 8vo; original black boards, lettered in silver gilt on spine; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 190; plates. Dustwrapper slightly foxed and edgeworn; pages somewhat foxed. Good. "C. T. Stoneham has drawn upon his vast knowledge and experience of Kenya to present a picture of this troubled country that must impress all those concerned with her future. Out of Barbarism is the result of a long and careful study of the problems confronting this important member of the Commonwealth and there is no doubt that Stoneham writes with the conviction and authority of an expert whose conclusions and suggested remedies are of the greatest interest. Voicing, as he does, the views of the settler whose link with Kenya has extended over more than 30 years, he represents a side of this momentous controversy which cannot be ignored by the student of African affairs." .
