The Age of White Rulers

Told in the even-tempered voice of a woman who is both devoted to tradition and resolutely forward-looking, The Age of White Rulers, captures a period in Nigeria’s encounter with colonial rule that will deepen our understanding of that controversial episode in African history. In this novel, Delano adds an ironic, feminist twist to the twice-told story of a world run according to the wishes of powerful men, black or white.
