Glimpses - The Author - Cynthia Salvadori - is herself of refugee descent. Her father, Max Salvadori, came to Kenya from Italy where the Fascist regime, to which he was actively opposed, had jailed him for a year. He came in 1934 and like Abraham Block he met Lord Delamere, from whom he leased a small farm in Njoro. He came with his brother-in-law, and as soon as they were settled they both brought their brides over, both named Joyce, Max's being Joyce Pawle, straight from Dorset. Cynthia would have been born in Kenya except for the fact that her mother's doctor in Nakuru recommended she return to England for the birth. Max Salvadori was fascinated by Kenya, so much so that the first of the dozens of books he wrote on political history was "La Colonisation Europeene au Kenya" ……….. Left kenya pre war to return to Italy to fight Fascism.

Pambazuka News 7 July 2011 (Web):  Max Salvadori, a political thinker, political economist and historian, had been shaped by a hatred for all dictatorships. His radical stance and anti-fascist activity, coupled with being a vigorous opponent of Mussolini, led him to imprisonment in Italy. Under pressure, he was released - on the condition that he go into exile. He and his British wife, Joyce Woodford Pawle, chose refuge in Kenya. Here he farmed for three years but left soon after Cynthia was born on Equator Farm at Njoro.

Cynthia said ‘My father was never around often, but I was influenced by his political activism, He was a historian, on a grand scale. He had an amazing mind and history mattered to him greatly because of the politics of liberalism. He was really primarily a political activist. As a British officer, he played an important role in the Italian resistance. Had it not been for my mother, he would have been involved in post war Italian politics. But he knew she couldn’t stick Italy so he spent his life as a professor of history mostly in the US (from classical Greek and Roman to modern European, but mainly the latter). He wrote books and hundreds, if not thousands of articles.
