It s the turn of the nineteenth century and a small contingent of British colonialists has been dispatched to a (fictitious) African country, their mission: to establish colonial dominion over an unclaimed territory . While some of colonialism s cruelties have by this stage been realised, the Scramble for Africa , under the auspices of Darwinian theory, Christian charity and Eurocentrism, has assumed the guise of philanthropy. Colonialism s noble duty the white man s burden is to save the savages from themselves . p>Told with a dry, caustic humour that lampoons the era s language and sensibilities, Bisulo s Pig aims to situate the reader in the colonial mindset, typical of the time, that fictionalised Africa and rendered its native inhabitants as pitiful, barbarous or sub-human and to reveal that a great many of us might not be quite as free of an imperialistic outlook as we may fancy./p>
