Read excerpt
When Gustave Flaubert and Maxime Du Camp left Marseille for Egypt in 1849, they carried with them two very different means of recording the journey. Flaubert filled his notebooks, although much of what he wrote remained unpublished during his lifetime, while Du Camp worked with a camera, preparing and exposing each negative beneath the Egyptian sun.

In Ousmane Sembène’s God’s Bits of Wood, the railway running from Dakar into what was then French Sudan becomes the setting for one of the most consequential labour disputes in the history of French West Africa.
