Description
Oxford-educated Emperor Seth has taken the throne of Azania, but his subjects are ill-informed and unruly. Corruption, double-dealing, and bloodshed are rampant. With the help of Minister of Modernization Basil Seal, Seth aims to introduce Western civilization to his people. However, this ambitious plan is fraught with challenges. As Seth's modernizing efforts take hold, he must navigate the complexities of his own government and the expectations of his subjects. Will it be possible for him to bring about lasting change in this African state? This new edition of Black Mischief presents a thought-provoking exploration of power, politics, and cultural identity.
