"Great African Travellers: From Mungo Park to Livingstone and Stanley" by William Henry Giles Kingston discusses the bravery of men and women exploring uncharted lands and dealing with hostile native populations and exotic illnesses. Africa has always been an exotic and faraway land. This book helped bring some of the history, layout, and culture to the masses in a way that didn't downplay the excitement and danger one can face when traveling somewhere new.

What does it feel like to move through a world designed to limit and exclude you? What are the joys and pains of holidays for people of colour, when guidebooks are never written with them in mind? How are black lives today impacted by the othering legacy of colonial cultures and policies? What can travel tell us about our sense of self, of home, of belonging and identity? Why has the world order become hostile to human mobility, as old as humanity itself, when more people are on the move than ever? Nanjala Nyabola is constantly exploring the world, working with migrants and confronting complex realities challenging common assumptions - both hers and others'. From Nepal to Botswana, Sicily to Haiti, New York to Nairobi, her sharp, humane essays ask tough questions and offer surprising, deeply shocking and sometimes funny answers. It is time we saw the world through her eyes.
