- Abstract
The article contains an interpretation of two travel reports by two different African travelers to England in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The first is the report of the well educated son of a chief in the kingdom of Buganda, Africa, who attended the coronation of King Edward VII of England, and wrote about his experiences of technical wonders and official ceremonies in order to inform his countrymen. The second is the report of a black servant who came to a country house in Kent, England to work with a pastor informing him about languages spoken in West Africa. The author draws contrasts between the two reports and then evaluates them in the light of the writings of the ethnographer Bronislaw Malinowski, who studied a local culture of the Western Pacific from 1915 to 1918.
