Description

That is the first full- length historical analysis of Victoria Falls. The text offers a very important examination of Victoria Falls providing new insight into the British Southern African project and reveals how Victoria Falls became one of the crucial first brand new African tourist destinations. This book makes a case for a very important reading of Victoria Falls as a lot more than a localized natural wonder.  Europeans with more than one and continuously competing agendas, in addition to African leaders and laborers were brought into contact with one every other at Victoria Falls.  Their visions of the past and hopes for the future shared Victoria Falls as a common point of inspiration.  The value these parties placed at the Falls extended far beyond its location at the Zambezi and had broad implications for the British Empire in Southern and Central Africa.
