William Fitzwilliam Owen: Hydrographer Of The African Coast, 1774-1857, Robert Brown
William Fitzwilliam Owen: Hydrographer Of The African Coast, 1774-1857, Robert Brown
Dr Robert Brown
This biography of William Fitzwilliam Owen reflects an attempt to place the response of one officer to Africa into the context of the political and social views of the early nineteenth century. Officially Owen was a hydrographer and not on suppression patrol, but he committed himself to political actions that pointed out the inconsistencies of the abolitionist crusade. Owen's contributions to African as well as to naval history have received minimal attention from historians. Because of this lack of attention to Owen's life and to the naval role in the early nineteenth century British contacts with Africa, the imperial developments …
African Architectural Transference To The South Carolina Low Country, 1700-1880, Fritz Hamer
African Architectural Transference To The South Carolina Low Country, 1700-1880, Fritz Hamer
Fritz Hamer
There is growing historical and archaeological evidence that African style housing was an integral part of slave communities on plantations in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Besides the "shotgun" house, other African house forms were built in North America before descendants of African slaves became acculturated to western construction techniques. The rarity of historical and archaeological evidence of these structures can be attributed to the culture bias of early white observers and the poor preservation of these impermanent structures in the archaeological record.
French Caribbeans In Africa: Diasporic Connections And Colonial Administration, 1880-1939, Veronique Helenon
French Caribbeans In Africa: Diasporic Connections And Colonial Administration, 1880-1939, Veronique Helenon
Veronique Helenon
This is the first book-length study of the French Caribbean presence in Africa, and serves as a unique contribution to the field of African Diaspora and Colonial studies. By using administrative records, newspapers, and interviews, Véronique Hélénon explores the French Caribbean presence in the colonial administration in Africa before World War II. The phenomenon of this colonial administration is an especially productive site for understanding the complex relations established both within the African Diaspora and with the French colonial power.
Pan-Africanism And African Unity: Any Prospects?, Conrad John Masabo Mr.
Pan-Africanism And African Unity: Any Prospects?, Conrad John Masabo Mr.
Conrad John Masabo Mr.
At the close of 50 years of independence, Africa is still yearning for unity despite of the more than 100 years of the initiatives made by the pan-Africanists. The essay addresses important issues of political, economic, social and cultural rebirth of the African continent. It argues that, if the ideas of Pan-Africanism or Africanisms are deeply persuaded they can make Africa successfully in coping with its problems and orient itself in a rapidly globalising world. While there is hope for Africa in the continental unity and pan-African political and economic projects; the paper also points out imperialism and neo-colonialism as …
