Description
East Africa Through Contemporary Records gathers historical documents selected and introduced by Zoë Marsh. This 1961 Cambridge University Press volume offers original source material for readers interested in East African history and the study of the region through contemporary accounts.

This copy was acquired from the estate of Thomas Doane Perry III, an anthropologist and African studies educator who lived and taught in Uganda. His name appears on the front endpaper. The book’s subject makes it a particularly fitting part of Perry’s working library.

Why we love this book
A documentary history with a connection to the scholar who owned it: Perry’s inscription gives this copy a personal link to a lifetime of teaching and inquiry into Africa.
