A remarkable work of reportage by Nobel?Prize Laureate V. S. Naipaul?that surveys belief and?religion among?the disparate peoples of Africa.
?
Like all of Naipaul’s “travel” books, The Masque of Africa encompasses a much larger narrative and purpose: to judge the effects of belief (in indigenous animisms, the foreign religions of Christianity and Islam, the cults of leaders and mythical history) upon the progress of civilization. It is a masterly achievement by one of the world’s keenest observers and one of its greatest writers.
