Reviews

Creating a life - a daily round, a career, an ever-moving conversation, an ever-changing sense of mutuality, an ever-expanding notion of what inhabiting a periphery means - is the theme of this fine evocation of friendship amongst a group of mission educated young men in a rural Africa that has learned through experience and modern communications just how 'back of beyond' those lives are and will remain. - Jane Guyer, Johns Hopkins University ""Using the lifestyles and memories of successive generations of Ndembu men, Pritchett writes this ambient social history in a wholly new space. The author maintains an ironic presence in the story and reminds us of contemporary national and international contexts, from Rhodesia to the present. This original and eminently readable study is recommended for all who have a serious interest in Africa."" - Wyatt McGaffey, Haverford College
