To Africa and Back, by J.D.Fage.
One of the leading historians of Africa, author of A History of Africa, John Fage was one of that small group who more or less invented African Studies in Britain, institutionalised it in British universities and worked to establish its claims and credentials in the wider world. As part of that process he founded the Centre of West African Studies at the University of Birmingham and served as its Director for two decades. To Africa and Back chronicles the various facets of John Fage's life and work, from his childhood memories of family and school, through his years of military service and academic work in Africa, to his scholarly and administrative career at the University of Birmingham.
