West African Countries and Peoples, British and Native : And a Vindication of the African Race

Omtale

In West African Countries and Peoples, published in 1868, Sierra Leone-born doctor James Africanus Beale Horton (1835–1883) refutes derogatory Victorian racial ideas about Africans. He was also considered an early proponent of African independence because he examines the potential of self-government almost 100 years before decolonisation.
