Through this we see the interaction of native populations, the Germans, and the British as a nation (in the modern sense at least) is birthed.
ENDNOTE: Normally, I take fairly copious notes on this african novels, however, (in this case for fairly boring reasons), it took me some 5 months to read this book (I am typically reading 3 books at a time) and it lost much of its impact on me. So that's on me. I look forward to rereading this novel again in the future.

Wow, I just stumbled across your blog while searching for help with Herbst's "States and Power in Africa", but your whole blog is right up my alley: I'm double majoring in Literature and Political Science, and my focus in Poli-Sci is African CP. Thanks for putting this all together, you've got some really interesting stuff!
