Readers will delight in viewing the colonial world through a different lens while they continue to learn about life in early America. Enhanced by detailed images, the social studies content augments classroom learning through truethough sometimes disgustingfacts and examples of making a living in the 13 colonies.

Charlton Bullock served as a Senior Executive Engineer in four British colonies, three in a state of crisis. In Nigeria, we see a colony in a pre-World War 2 state, with life proceeding as it had for many years. Malaya was in a state of emergency, with co-workers suddenly murdered by Communist attacks. Charlton was in charge of wartorn districts for ten years of the Communist Insurrection. He was also engaged in cleaning up after Governor Gurney's assassination. Sierra Leone had just been granted independence, resulting in its European senior staff departing en-masse. Charlton took charge of two of the most important districts. Hong Kong was suffering from an enormous influx of Chinese refugees and the government was struggling to feed and accomodate them and find them work. Charlton was in the forefront of this effort and was responsible for the creation of the Kung Tong New Town, which housed one million refugees and provided employment for most of them. The book ends with his retirement from the service.His early life before entering the Colonial Service is covered by his second book, "The Making of a Man," to be published soon.

A Colonial Lexicon is the first historical investigation of how childbirth became medicalized in Africa. Rejecting the “colonial encounter” paradigm pervasive in current studies, Nancy Rose Hunt elegantly weaves together stories about autopsies and bicycles, obstetric surgery and male initiation, to reveal how concerns about strange new objects and procedures fashioned the hybrid social world of colonialism and its aftermath in Mobutu’s Zaire. Relying on archival research in England and Belgium, as well as fieldwork in the Congo, Hunt reconstructs an ethnographic history of a remote British Baptist mission struggling to survive under the successive regimes of King Leopold II’s Congo Free State, the hyper-hygienic, pronatalist Belgian Congo, and Mobutu’s Zaire. After exploring the roots of social reproduction in rituals of manhood, she shows how the arrival of the fast and modern ushered in novel productions of gender, seen equally in the forced labor of road construction and the medicalization of childbirth. Hunt focuses on a specifically interwar modernity, where the speed of airplanes and bicycles correlated with a new, mobile medicine aimed at curbing epidemics and enumerating colonial subjects. Fascinating stories about imperial masculinities, Christmas rituals, evangelical humor, colonial terror, and European cannibalism demonstrate that everyday life in the mission, on plantations, and under a strongly Catholic colonial state was never quite what it seemed. In a world where everyone was living in translation, privileged access to new objects and technologies allowed a class of “colonial middle figures”—particularly teachers, nurses, and midwives—to mediate the evolving hybridity of Congolese society. Successfully blurring conventional distinctions between precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial situations, Hunt moves on to discuss the unexpected presence of colonial fragments in the vibrant world of today’s postcolonial Africa. With its close attention to semiotics as well as sociology, A Colonial Lexiconwill interest specialists in anthropology, African history, obstetrics and gynecology, medical history, religion, and women’s and cultural studies.
