Red Strangers is a 1939 novel by Elspeth Huxley. The story is a native Kenyan woman's account of the arrival and effects of British colonialists.
Though the book was out of print for quite some time, in 1998 the British biologist Richard Dawkins wrote an article of appreciation for the novel in The Financial Times, challenging "any reputable publisher to bring out a copy of their own."[1] Penguin Books subsequently published the novel in February 1999, with Dawkins' article as the foreword.
