Описание:
Expats in Nigeria is an unusual collection of short stories inspired by Keith Fisher's experiences when living and working in Africa during the 1970s and 1980s. He introduces us to many colourful characters and recounts events that are both touching and humorous and which give us a taste of post-colonial Nigeria.
This collection is an important glimpse into the social history of the British in Nigeria during those years, and we learn a great deal through Keith's telling of the anecdotes and real-life stories of the people who lived there.
Keith developed his interest in short stories having listened to his Uncle Percy, who was a great storyteller.

Описание:
The stories in this book all take place during a time of upheaval in the country. Independence from the British has happened, but the influence left behind by colonialism is still very much in evidence in the period before the Sudan divides in two. These British expats are in the country for various reasons, some prompted by a desire to visit Africa, others because they want to get away from home. They have different jobs, working for the university, an aid agency or in business, but they are all connected. They are linked by the Sudan Club, the remains of the British colonialist clubs and still the centre of the expat community, to which they are all drawn, and by their experiences of the changes that come with the introduction of Sharia law and the unrest of the divided country.
