Victoria Falls and colonial imagination in British Southern Africaturning water into gold /[electronic resource] :by Andrea L. Arrington-Sirois. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan US :2017. - xv, 291 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - African histories and modernities. - African histories and modernities..

This is the first full- length historical analysis of Victoria Falls. The text offers a critical examination of Victoria Falls providing new insight into the British Southern African project and reveals how Victoria Falls became one of the first modern African tourist destinations. This book makes a case for a critical reading of Victoria Falls as much more than a localized natural wonder. Europeans with multiple and often competing agendas, as well as African leaders and laborers were brought into contact with one another at Victoria Falls. Their visions of the past and hopes for the future shared Victoria Falls as a common point of inspiration. The value these parties placed on the Falls extended far beyond its location on the Zambezi and had broad implications for the British Empire in Southern and Central Africa.
