Out of Our Minds

- Reason and Madness in the Exploration of Central Africa

Bag om Out of Our Minds

Explorers and ethnographers in Africa during the period of colonial expansion are usually assumed to have been guided by rational aims such as the desire for scientific knowledge, fame, or financial gain. This book shows explorers were far from rational - often meeting their hosts in states influenced by opiates, alcohol, sex, fever, and fatigue.
