In 1847, Russian military engineer and diplomat Egor Petrovich Kovalevsky embarked on a journey through what is today Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, recording his impressions of a region in flux. Invited by Egyptian ruler Mohammed Ali to look for gold and construct mines in the area between the Blue and White Nile, Kovalevsky captured the social milieu of both elites and ordinary people as well as compiled a rich record of the Upper Nile’s climate and natural resources. A Journey to Inner Africa, masterfully translated into English for the first time by Anna Aslanyan, is both a tale of encounter between Russia and northern Africa and an important document in the history and development of the Russian imperial project. Contributions by Egor Kovalevsky, Anna Aslanyan, Sergey Glebov, David Schimmelpenninck, Mukaram Hhana, and Michal Wasiucionek

"Journey to Africa is a personal recollection covering the period 1959-1970 of developments in Guinea, Senegal and Algeria in particular while encompassing the whole of West Africa. Mr. Fuller points out how Western propaganda has attempted to cloud the revolutionary fervor of Sekou Toure, how the white influence has produced European cities in Africa and black Euro-Africans, and the role United States intelligence has played in subverting African development vis-a-vis cultural institutions"--Inside back cover.

The Cape to Cairo road is where I, a black female soul-searcher, faced my greatest trial in confronting my fear of losing my mother to cancer, trying to keep old love alive, and make my childhood dream come true.
