- Annotation
- Detailed comparison study focusing on similarities in form, content, and plot in each author s account of interwar travel in Africa. Analyzing how each draws on and extends the conventions of travel writing, Wittman discusses their autobiographical tone, views on primitivism, and one-dimensional depictions of indigenous Africans. Concludes that both authors nostalgically lament the lost world Africa represents as well as the changing Africa that they are leaving.
