Book Synopsis El Dorado in West Africa by : Raymond E. Dumett
Download or read book El Dorado in West Africa written by Raymond E. Dumett and published by James Currey. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold mining occupies a central place in the economic evolution of Ghana. This text examines the period of transition from traditional mining systems to mechanized, capitalized mining companies in the Akan area of the Gold Coast. Looking at the role of African as well as European mining entrepreneurs, female as well as male mining labor, this study encompasses issues of gender, ethnicity, business organization, pressure groups and exploitation. The author seeks to reveal a new complexity in the economic and social history of mining in the late 19th century. In particular he concludes that it is in the individualization of land transfers to mining concessionaires, rather than in the mobilization of a permanent unskilled wage labor force, that the greatest impact on economic and social change can be measured.

Book Synopsis Seeking El Dorado by : Lawrence B. de Graaf
Download or read book Seeking El Dorado written by Lawrence B. de Graaf and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 18th century, African Americans, like many others, have migrated to California to seek fortunes or, often, the more modest goals of being able to find work, own a home, and raise a family relatively free of discrimination. Not only their search but also its outcome is covered in Seeking El Dorado. Whether they settled in major cities or smaller towns, African Americans created institutions and organizations—churches, social clubs, literary societies, fraternal orders, civil rights organizations—that embodied the legacy of their past and the values they shared. Blacks came in search of the same jobs as other Americans, but the search often proved frustrating. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, African American leadership in the state consistently focused on achieving racial justice. The essays in this book speak of triumph and hardship, success, discrimination, and disappointment. Seeking El Dorado is a major contribution to black history and the history of the American West and will be of interest to both scholars and general readers.

Book Synopsis The Loss of El Dorado by : V. S. Naipaul
Download or read book The Loss of El Dorado written by V. S. Naipaul and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-03-16 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterpiece about Trinidad, the Nobel Prize-winning author has “given us a lesson in history [and] shown us how it is best written” (The New York Times). The history of Trinidad begins with a delusion: the belief that somewhere nearby on the South American mainland lay El Dorado, the mythical kingdom of gold. In this extraordinary and often gripping book, V. S. Naipaul—himself a native of Trinidad—shows how that delusion drew a small island into the vortex of world events, making it the object of Spanish and English colonial designs and a mecca for treasure-seekers, slave-traders, and revolutionaries. Amid massacres and poisonings, plunder and multinational intrigue, two themes emerge: the grinding down of the Aborigines during the long rivalries of the El Dorado quest and, two hundred years later, the man-made horror of slavery. An accumulation of casual, awful detail takes us as close as we can get to day-to-day life in the slave colony, where, in spite of various titles of nobility, only an opportunistic, near-lawless community exists, always fearful of slave suicide or poison, of African sorcery and revolt. Naipaul tells this labyrinthine story with assurance, withering irony, and lively sympathy. The result is historical writing at its highest level.
Book Synopsis A Failed Eldorado by : Priscilla M. Shilaro
Download or read book A Failed Eldorado written by Priscilla M. Shilaro and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores Britain's attempt to take land from the Bantu-Luyia peoples of Western Kenya for gold mining following the discovery of gold in the North Kavirondo (NK) reserve in 1931. The discovery led to the Kenyan gold rush, in which local European settler farmers and mining prospectors converged on Kakamega. The presence of mining prospectors in Western Kenya and the move to transform a rural agrarian terrain into an industrial one had important economic, political, socio-cultural, medical, and environmental ramifications for the inhabitants. This book illuminates the struggles of mine workers and dispossessed African households by looking at their actions and reactions toward the emerging British colonial venture of the region. Fundamentally, this work captures the largely undocumented histories of 'the common people' who lived through Kenya's failed eldorado.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER IL EARLY TRAVELS OF THE CHRISTIAN ERA. Expeditions to the Western Coast and Great Sahara?To Morocco and the Northern Coast?To Abyssinia, Nubia, and Egypt. AS early as the eighth and twelfth centuries A.D., Arab K caravans had penetrated to the very heart of the continent of North Africa, and down the western coast as far as the Senegal and Gambia rivers; and from the account given of their discoveries in the works of Leo Africanus, a great writer of the sixteenth century, we gather that many important kingdoms existed in the districts watered by the Niger, then called the Nile of the negroes, and that an extensive trade in gold and ivory was carried on between the Mahommedan settlers and the natives. Towards the beginning of the thirteenth century the various sovereignties of North Africa seem to have become absorbed into the important kingdom of Tombuctoo, which gave its name to the modern city of Timbuktu, so long the El Dorado of adventurers. It was reserved to the Portuguese to open the interior of the north of Africa to modern European commerce. Having driven the Moors from their strongholds along the Mediterranean coast, they made them the starting-point for expeditions into the interior, partly with a view toPrester John. 17 obtaining gold, partly with a desire to discover the abode of Priest John, or Prester John/' that mysterious aud mythical Christian monarch whose home was sometimes supposed to be in Asia and sometimes in Africa. The search for Prester John was not rewarded with the success deserved by the eagerness with which it was carried on. But vessels sent out by John I. of Portugal, to explore the western coast, rounded Cape Nun (N. lat. 26 48', W. long. 11 10'), and made their way as far north as Cape Bojador (N. lat. 26 7', W. long...
