A collection of short stories that take place in three newly independent countries between 1970 and 1982, dramatizing the the interactions between different cultures in the post-colonial period.

Set in the years between 1970 and 1982 in three newly independent countries, these stories dramatize the interactions between different cultures in the post-colonial period.

The Night Watchman, based on the theme of theft, tells the tale of an Englishwoman and her husband living in West Africa, who hire a local man to guard their property and become intimately involved with the health of him and his wife.

In Dealing with the Health of the People, an American Ph.D. student discovers that everything must be bartered for, from articles for daily living, to his use of local labour, to providing health care for ordinary people, as he gathers data from a West African maternal and child health clinic for his dissertation.

Encountering Baboons follows a young American teaching first year science at a Southern African agricultural college as he faces wild animals; prejudiced colonial attitudes; clashes between African and Western beliefs and practices; directing a group of students in performing Shakespeare’s The Tempest; relations with three very different women; and both political and natural storms.
