We Two In West Africa is a travelogue written by Decima Moore, an English actress, singer, and writer, detailing her journey with her husband, Henry V. Esmond, through West Africa in 1908. The book is divided into ten chapters, each describing their experiences in different regions of West Africa, including Sierra Leone, Liberia, the Gold Coast, and Lagos. Moore provides a vivid description of the people, customs, and landscapes they encounter along the way. She discusses the impact of colonization on the region, the slave trade, and the efforts of Christian missionaries to convert the local population. She also shares insights into the daily lives of the people they meet, including their food, clothing, and social customs. Throughout the book, Moore reflects on her own experiences as a white woman traveling in a foreign land, and the challenges she faces in navigating cultural differences and language barriers. She also discusses the role of women in West African society, and the ways in which they are both empowered and constrained by their cultural norms.Overall, We Two In West Africa provides a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of West Africa in the early 20th century, as seen through the eyes of a British traveler. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in African history, travel writing, or cultural anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
