"This is essentially a criticism of colonialism. That is, the white man's assumption that he can sail his boats over to Africa, enslave the population, make off with all the ivory and have a nice cup of tea in the afternoon. It's written by a Polish man, I believe, though you'd never know English wasn't his first language. This is one of the first real criticisms of this sort."
A very important book, a younger Darren would have been sure to note.
