Sirkku-Liisa Häyhä-Karmakainen and Tapio Riikonen "Sandi: Kertomuksia Joelta" by Edgar Wallace is a collection of stories set in early 20th-century Africa. The narrative revolves around notable characters such as Commissioner Sanders and explores themes related to colonialism, tribal dynamics, and the complexities of governance in a post-colonial landscape. The stories provide a vivid depiction of the encounters between European settlers and the indigenous populations. At the start of the work, we are introduced to Commissioner Sanders, who has been appointed to oversee a region populated by various tribes, including some with a history of cannibalism. The opening chapter "Kuninkaan kasvatus" focuses on Sanders’ experiences managing intertribal conflicts, most notably dealing with the chief of Akasava, who has kidnapped women and livestock from neighboring tribes. The chapter unfolds as Sanders navigates through a web of cultural misunderstandings and personal encounters, showcasing his sometimes ruthless approach to maintaining order and his attempts at political maneuvering. Through his character and actions, Wallace sets the tone for a complex exploration of power, identity, and the intricate ties between the colonizers and the colonized.
