In the 1990s, many Americans sought to cast themselves as heroic defenders of the liberal arts by condemning Afrocentricity. This paper reveals how many such profiteers and schemers were invested in Eurocentricity, but it also critiques Molefi Asante -- the man who coined the phrase "Afrocentricity" -- and points out his reliance on AfroAmericocentric norms. This paper was originally published in the Canadian Review of American Studies, 36(2): 181-93 (2006), and is republished here by the author, in slightly modified form, with the Review's generous permission.

From Microscope To The Marriage Contract Of Castile's Trastamara Dynasts Isabel And Fernando: Evidence Of African Berber And Germanic Cultural Fusion, Marsha Robinson
African Diaspora Archaeology Newsletter
This paper explores aspects of African diasporas beyond the context of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The author examines genetic evidence that calls for a syncretic history of Spain. Exploring the fusion of cultural practices with respect to gender and power as found in the fifteenth-century marriage contract between Isabel of Castile and Fernando of Aragon, this paper further analyzes the historiography of the Christian expansion on the peninsula, the Berber legal system that arrived in Iberia with the Islamic conquest, and the Visigothic legal system that dominated in Aragon. The author further examines evidence of cultural fusion of African Berber …

Slave Routes In Western Tanzania: A Preliminary Report On Survey In Tabora And Ujiji, Sarah Croucher, Stephanie Wynne-Jones
African Diaspora Archaeology Newsletter
The following report is a brief introduction to reconnaissance survey work carried out in Western Tanzania in July 2006 to investigate caravan routes that ran from the East African coast inland as far as the Congo during the 18th and 19th centuries. These routes were tied to the trading of captive Africans from inland areas to the Indian Ocean coast. When they reached the coast, enslaved individuals were either kept to work on local Arab-run plantations, or traded out into the Indian Ocean. Although it has proved difficult to quantify the number of slaves being traded from this region during …

The Dynamics Of Industry As Seen From Van Winkle's Mill, Arkansas, Alicia B. Valentino
The Dynamics Of Industry As Seen From Van Winkle's Mill, Arkansas, Alicia B. Valentino
African Diaspora Archaeology Newsletter
Van Winkle's mill in Benton County, Arkansas, was home to the most productive and powerful 19th-century mill in the Arkansas Ozarks. Today only machinery platforms and a flywheel trench remain. Archaeological investigation in Van Hollow, the locale of this mill, has taken place since 1997, yet the nature of industrial technology and the layout of the saw- and gristmill remain neglected. This study examines the industrial archaeology of this mill complex within the context of its social and cultural framework. The result illustrates that despite being on the frontier, daily operations were integrated with local, regional, and national institutions. The …

Tikettin Yat Familia/Once Upon A Family: Family Origins And Slave Histories In Southern Morocco, Madia Thomson
African Diaspora Archaeology Newsletter
Dr. Thomson received her Ph.D. from the Department of History at Boston University in 2005. Her dissertation, entitled "The Historical Present: Modernization, Slavery, and the Transformation of Social Hierarchy in Southwestern Morocco, 1912-1956," addressed aspects of modernization and social change in twentieth-century Morocco through the lens of slavery. Her dissertation argues that the actions of slaves encouraged changes in the institution of slavery that, when combined with the forces of economic modernization, reshaped earlier social configurations. Patron-client relations in Moroccan society mirrored the power structures of the institution of slavery; changes in the institution therefore reflected changes in the political …
