A sharp workplace novel about kinship, professional ethics and colonial bureaucracy, from novelist and civil engineer T. M. Aluko.

Titus Oti returns from Britain as a professionally qualified Nigerian civil engineer and enters a Public Works Department still shaped by colonial hierarchy. His new authority immediately collides with an older obligation: Simeon, his kinsman and foreman, is a respected practical man and family benefactor whose standing within Titus's family is unquestioned. When professional standards, patronage, corruption and workplace politics begin to pull them apart, Titus must decide what public duty requires--and what he owes the man his family regards as a benefactor. First published in 1966, Kinsman and Foreman turns a conflict between engineer and foreman into a wry, enduring study of kinship, modern professional life, colonial bureaucracy and the moral cost of advancement. This New Africa Library edition restores one of T. M. Aluko's major novels to global circulation.
