Abstract

Genuflecting before the last British governor on the soil of her beloved Kenyan farm in 1930, Karen Blixen sought desperately to persuade the Empire's last representative to allow her Black workers to remain on land excised from the coffee plantation she was about to lose. Hounded by creditors and overwhelmed by an unusually uncooperative climate alike, Blixen had set out to do one last thing for her workers, believing it to be one of many acts of kindness she had bestowed on them over the years.
