What reading level is The Lure of Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The native stands gazing sadly at his empty cattle kraal. The magistrate, passing by, remarks, "Build a dipping-tank. " The native replies, "Give me back my herds. " To the cattle pests we must add certain human dis- orders, like tuberculosis, smallpox, and the venereal diseases to which the African is peculiarly susceptible, and which have worked sad havoc. When the black man brings in this accusation, what is the white man to say ? In South Africa the breaking down of tribal and family restra...ints is a serious thing. Even the white settlers are beginning to recognize this. Paganism had its laws and its sanctions. Crude as these were, they formed a certain basis for society; they were vastly better than nothing. European law abolishes these, but is unable to put anything effective in their place. The result is that certain tribes are more im- moral than before civilization came. What shall we say of the unjust and cruel wars of suppression in which every European power has en- gaged, of punitive expeditions which have been little better than massacres?
