"In 1871, American writer Henry M. Stanley traveled from Zanzibar to Tanganyika in search of the missing explorer Dr. David Livingstone at the behest of the New York Herald's impresario editor. In 1872, Stanley emerged from central Africa to announce that he had met with Livingstone on Tanganyika Lake, restored his health, and supplied his next journey. The words he presumably uttered upon meeting Livingstone became one of the most famous phrases of the nineteenth century, and his narrative of the trip, How I Found Livingstone, was an international bestseller. In Finding Dr. Livingstone, Mathilde Leduc-Grimaldi and James L. Newman transcribe and annotate the entirety of Stanley's trip documentation, now owned by the Roi Baudouin Foundation in Brussels, Belgium. They thus make available in print for the first time a trove that includes worker contracts, vernacular plant names, maps, ruminations on life, lines of poetry, bills of lading-all scribbled in his field notebooks. This book is vastly more expansive and different in emphasis from Stanley's version, with invaluable insights into the experiences of his African carriers, soldiers, and servants. This book will be a crucial resource for those interested in the Victorian era, exploration, the scientific knowledge of the time, and the peoples and conditions of today's Tanzania prior to its colonization by Germany"--

This study about David Livingstone is different from all other publications about him. Here, Livingstone is not the main topic of interest; the focus of the author is on nutrition and health in pre-colonial Africa and Livingstone is his key informant. David Livingstone and the Myth of African Poverty and Disease is an unusual book. After a close examination of Livingstone’s writings and comparative reading of contemporary authors, Sjoerd Rijpma has been able to draw cautious conclusions about the relatively favourable conditions of health and nutrition in southern and central Africa during the pre-colonial period. His findings shed new light on the medical history of Sub-Saharan Africa. The surprise awaiting travellers in and also before 19th century Africa was that the inhabitants of the interior, even the ‘slaves’, were healthier and better fed than many of their contemporaries in Europe’s Industrial Revolution. “An impressive piece of scholarship, truly forensic in its close reading and re-reading of Livingstone’s published works and those of other travellers during the same era, clearly a labour of love which has taken years to complete” (Joanna Lewis).

This study interrogates the heterogeneous nature of Livingstone's legacy and explores the plurality of identities that he has posthumously acquired. Investigating Livingstone's own self-staging, his Victorian commemoration, his imperialist and Scottish reputations, and his afterlife in postcolonial fiction and drama, it offers the first full exploration of his many incarnations over a lengthy chronological period.
