Talk of the Devil
The Sunday Times
March 18, 2001
In Jamaica, Anton Wedemeyer wears his once-blond hair in dreadlocks and believes in Ras Tafari. Near São Paulo, a man named Fernando, whose only English word is "yes", attends a ceremony where someone dressed as General Robert E Lee re-enacts the surrender at Appomattox in 1865. These are members of the lost white tribes, descendants of settlers from Europe and North America stranded by the receding tide of colonialism. Orizio, in his fascinating book, describes his journeys in search of these people, tracking them down and coaxing their extraordinary stories from them.
