The Mlungu in Africa - Art from the Colonial Period, 1840-1940

Michael Stevenson Contemporary, South Africa, 2003. Light foxing at page edges, otherwise good secondhand condition.

The works reflect the interactions of African artists with foreign cultures. These cross-cultural exchanges were marked by misunderstanding, fear and admiration. The selection counterbalances the nostalgic and amusing images of Africans and Europeans in exotic settings with works that illustrate the harsh realities of the impact of Europeans in Africa.
