Lost White Tribes. Journeys Among the Forgotten. (Translated by Avril Bardoni). by ORIZIO, Riccardo

London: Secker & Warburg, 2000. 0436275058. 1st edition. "Here, instead of giving us yet another account of how the European nations exercised their power, Orizio sheds a completely new, fresh light on the interaction of colonisers and colonised. Among other things the author discovers that the colonials - or at least some of them - ended up defeated, too, despite or maybe because of the colour of their skin, just like the colonised." (preface by Ryszard Kapuscinski). The tribes investigated in this book are the Blancs Matignon of Guadeloupe; the Burghers of Sri Lanka; the Poles of Haiti; the Basters of Namibia; the Germans of Seaford Town, Jamaica and the Confederados of Brazil. Many are on the verge of extinction. Pp.xii/271, 8 pages of colour photos. Black cloth, dustwrapper has a removable clear protective wrap. VG/VG. .
