5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating tale, August 30, 2003
By 
This review is from: Sultan To Sultan: Adventures among the Masai and other Tribes of East Africa; By M. French-Sheldon, `Bebe Bwana' (Exploring Travel) (Paperback)
This newly reprinted edition of May French-Sheldon's travel narrative is a fascinating historical document for those interested in exploring the intersection of gender, class, nation, and race within the colonial context. Boisseau's excellent introduction to the volume unpacks why French-Sheldon, her discourses, and her practices/performances are worthy of historical inquiry. French-Sheldon's text provides a fascinating look at how gender and racial boundaries were being defined, policed and contested during the rise of colonialism, feminism, and an expanding capitalist system. Bousseau's introduction and notes are superb.
