Over three hundred years ago the first European colonisalists set foot in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean to found permanent outposts of the great empires. This epic migration continued until after World War II when these tropical outposts became independant black nations, and the white colonials were forced, or chose, to return home.Some of these colonial descendants, however, had become outcasts in the poorest stratas of the society of which they were now a part. Ignored by both the former slaves and the modern privileged white immigrants, and unable to afford the long journey home, they still hold out today, hiding in remote valleys and hills, 'lost white tribes' living in poverty with the proud myth of their colonial ancestors. Forced to marry within the tribe to retain their fair-skinned purity they are torn between the memory of past privileges and the present need to integrate into the surrounding society.

Orizio dishes up for us the Burghers of Sri Lanka, the Baster of Namibia, the white southerners who moved to Brazil after the Civil War, and others. I had known of a few of these but Orizio expertly weaves in their history, what makes them unique and how they now face danger in hanging on to their culture. ( )
