This review is from: Ethiopia Unbound: Studies in Race Emancipation (Cass Library of African Studies. Africana Modern Library,) (Hardcover)

This book is interesting largely because of its place in history. It was written in 1911 by an African nationalist and expresses his views on colonialism as an educated African who goes to London and then returns to his native land with fresh eyes to the exploitation of his people and possible solutions. While it is a fictional novel, it's long on political speeches. It is said that Marcus Garvey was greatly inspired by this book and it's not hard to see why (in fact, Hayford was later a follower of Garvey). For those who are interested in African history, this makes for fascinating reading.
