African Incidents: Personal Experiences In Egypt And Unyoro is a memoir written by Arthur Blyford Thruston, chronicling his experiences in two distinct regions of Africa. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Thruston's time in Egypt, where he worked as a civil engineer on the construction of the Assiut Dam. Thruston provides vivid descriptions of the landscape, culture, and people he encountered during his time in Egypt, and shares his observations on the impact of British colonialism on the region.The second part of the book focuses on Thruston's time in Unyoro, a region in what is now Uganda. Here, Thruston worked as a surveyor and was tasked with mapping the region for the British colonial government. He provides a detailed account of his experiences living and working in Unyoro, including encounters with local tribes, wildlife, and the challenges of navigating the terrain.Throughout the book, Thruston offers insight into the complexities of colonialism and the ways in which it impacted both the colonizers and the colonized. He also reflects on his own position as a white, British man in Africa and the ways in which his experiences shaped his understanding of the world. African Incidents: Personal Experiences In Egypt And Unyoro offers a unique perspective on African history and colonialism, and provides readers with a fascinating glimpse into the experiences of a British colonial worker in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
