Sobre este artículo

London: East Africa Newspaper, Publishing, 1931. First edition, in the RARE DUSTJACKET. Illustrated with one full-page map, and additionally a large folding map of the Kenya and Uganda railway added, though not required in a complete copy of the book. 8vo, publisher’s original sienna cloth lettered and ruled in gilt on the spine, bordered in blind on the upper cover, with the original printed dustjacket. xi, 162, [8 ads]. A fine and clean copy with like dustjacket, unusually well preserved. FIRST EDITION, RARE IN THE DUSTJACKET. “The Author brings to his task of describing Kenya and its people a matured and balanced judgment. ‘Kenya,’ he says, “is a good country” ---good to visit and good as a home for British settler. To smooth the path of the tourist he gives valuable hints and warnings derived from his own experience; to assist the intending settler he discusses most informingly the problems of health, education, transport, and production---all non-technically and most readably.
“His comments on ‘The Church in Kenya,” provocative though they may be, are entirely constructive and without prejudice. On ‘The Native Races’ he is penetrating and humorous, always just in his estimate of the part they must play in the future of the country. His chapter on ‘The Indian’ is frank but fair. The ‘Historical Note’ provides a clever summary founded on careful research, without which none of Kenya’s problems can be properly be understood.
“Well and wisely written, KENYA WITHOUT PREJUDICE lives up to its title, and will appeal to all, whether at Home or in East Africa, who are, or may be, interested in British Colonisation in East Africa” [dustjacket notes].
