Written by the younger brother of VS Naipaul, at the age of 40, Naipaul had a fatal heart attack while working at his desk. "North of South: An African Journey" concerns Naipaul's travels in Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia. Naipaul was particularly interested in the Asian populations of these countries. The "South" in the title refers to South Africa.

This is a very cynical book about Kenya and Tanzania (with a few pages on Zambia).
I have travelled many times to both of these east African countries and had memorable, wonderful experiences in both. I suppose you either love or hate this book. I disliked it tremendously.

Perhaps now dated. But powerfully captures many dynamics of Africa circa a few decades ago.

a picture of east Africans Asians ,hence pertinent to me
