North of south: An African journey
North of South: An African Journey is a vivid travel narrative by Shiva Naipaul that chronicles his explorations across Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia during the late 1970s. Through sharp, reflective, and often provocative observations, Naipaul examines the complex ethnic, political, and cultural landscapes of post-independence East Africa.
The book captures the region’s tensions between tradition and modernity, as well as the lingering effects of colonialism and emerging ideological movements. Naipaul provides penetrating portraits of the people he encounters—Africans, Asians, and Europeans—offering a nuanced view of identity, migration, and social change.
First published in 1978 and reissued by Penguin Books in 1980, this work remains an important contribution to travel literature and African studies, valued for its candid analysis and literary insight.
