Europeans in British Administered East Africa, A Biographical Listing 1888-1910.

The article is a book review of "Europeans in British Administered East Africa, A Biographical Listing 1888-1910" by Stephen J. North. The book provides a comprehensive listing of over 8,000 biographical entries of Europeans who came into contact with the lands of eastern Africa administered by Britain. The author conducted extensive archival research and included names, nationalities, employment descriptors, dates, locations, and sources for each individual. The book is a valuable resource for studying the history of the region, the colonial experience, and the institutional histories that shaped eastern African landscapes. However, it does have limitations, such as missing photographs and a focus on a specific time period. The article suggests that further research is needed to include scientific expeditions and explore the German language archives for a more comprehensive understanding of the region's history.
