Industry Reviews "Newitt has taken many years to write his long book, as he has wrestled with his own problem of making 'sense' of Mozambique in a language few of its inhabitants speak. His solution, which works admirably, is to blend conventional chronologies of conquest and trade with leisurely descriptive essays on towns, the prazos and labour migration, which move from region to region and are illuminated throughout with a rich haul of detailed incident. It is skillfully done, both ironic and melancholic, with surprisingly little repetition, and with some memorable turns of phrase." Times Literary Supplement - Landeg White (03/08/1996)
