PUBLISHER'S BLURB: Over 300 hundred years ago the first European colonists set foot in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean to found permanent outposts of the great empires. This epic migration continued until after World War II when these tropical outposts became independent black nations, and the white colonials were forced, or chose, to return home. Some of these colonial descendants, however, had become outcasts in the poorest stratas of society of which they were now a part. Ignored by both the former slaves and the modern privileged white immigrants, and unable to afford the long journey home, they still hold out at the end of the 20th century, hiding in remote valleys and hills, “lost white tribes” living in poverty with the proud myth of the colonial ancestors. Forced to marry within the tribe to retain their fair-skinned “purity” they are torn between the memory of past privileges and the need to integrate into the surrounding society. The tribes investigated in this book share many aspects: all are decreasing in number, many are on the verge of extinction, fighting to survive in countries that alienate them because of the colour of their skin.
The author investigates: the Blancs Matignon of Guadeloupe; the Burghers of Sri Lanka; the Poles of Haiti; the Basters of Namibia; the Germans of Seaford Town, Jamaica; and the Confederados of Brazil.
