| Captain Harry Foster Deanâ s 1929 memoir The Pedro Gorino is the extraordinary story of his time in southern Africa around the turn of the twentieth century. Deanâ s narrative describes his thrilling maritime adventures and his encounters with important figures in history, but he never loses sight of his main purpose: establishing a colony where diasporic Africans could settle alongside native-born Africans and together build a racial empire. His beloved ship, the Pedro Gorino, was at the center of his plans. A race leader manquĂ©, Dean attempted throughout his life to convince Black people everywhere of the importance of the sea for the success of the race. A rich selection of contextual documents supplements the annotated memoir, providing materials on Deanâ s life and work, imperialism and environmental exploitation in South Africa, Black seafaring, and the Pan-African missionary movement. |
