Description
Drawing upon Cary's own experience as a member of the Nigerian political service in 1913, An American Visitor records the impressions and awakenings of Marie, an idealistic anthropologist who believes she has discerned the Kingdom of Heaven in the village of Nok. Colonial betrayal, white prospectors who stake claims within Birri territory, and a deepening relationship with the eccentric District Officer lead Marie to re-examine the perils of her own charmed position.
