Reviews
"This deeply researched, lively history of how southern Africa and Britain came to be understood as a multidirectional imperial landscape is the first of its kind. Melissa Free gives us a persuasive account of the novels that conjured British South Africa in the modern imperial imagination—and of the authors whose lived experience of the place made them not simply experts, but uniquely colonial informants as well. Beyond Gold and Diamonds is postcolonial literary history at its best." — Antoinette Burton, author of The Trouble with Empire: Challenges to Modern British Imperialism
