Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Native African Races and Culture But it is in the most rudimentary adjustments to climate and geographic peculiarities that the genius of the native races is shown. Dowd tells how the Bushmen, living in the waterless Kalahari desert and having often to go without water for sev eral days, made even this environment yield them liquid. When they came to the dried bed of a river or pond, in pursuit of game, they would take a long reed and make a primitive filter by tying long grass around one end of this tube. They would then push the filter end as deep as possible into the muddy soil, allowing the water to slowly penetrate the filter. The water would then be drawn up by suction and discharged into an egg shell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Native African Races and Culture We are glad to add to the Occasional Papers published by the Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund this brief treatment of a large and difficult subject. It seems to me that Dr. Johnson has handled the matter not only clearly and concisely but very interestingly. In spite of the increasing number of publications the general ignorance of most of us in America in regard to Africa is as dense and dark as the great Continent was once supposed to be. I know how great was my ignorance of the history and present conditions of the Negro Peoples of Africa until a visit and consequent readings brought me some knowledge and many surprises. This publication is issued in the hope that it will help to increase or correct our knowledge and widen our view of a story which may be said to branch over to America.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Native Races and the War In the midst of the manifold utterances and discussions on the burning question of to-day, - the War in South Africa, - there is one side of the subject which, it seems to me, has not as yet been considered with the seriousness which it deserves, - and that is the question of Slavery, and of the treatment of the native races of South Africa. Though this question has not yet in England or on the Continent been cited as one of the direct causes of the war, I am convinced, - as are many others, - that it lies very near to the heart of the present trouble.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Native Races of East Africa Many centuries ago, but at what time in the world's history it is impossible to say, a tall, dark skinned people named Hamites entered Africa from the direction of Arabia, and so fierce were these invaders that they were able to push before them the negroes, who retreated south and west. These fighting Hamites are now represented by the Somali, Danakil, and Galla who inhabit the Horn of Africa, ' 'where they subsist chiefly by cattle rearing that is to say, they are a pastoral people, who move from one well and piece of grass land to another, driving before them large herds of sheep, goats, camels, and perhaps a few horses.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from African Voices: An Anthology of Native African Writing I T is becoming increasingly obvious to all thoughtful people that the African continent and the African nations within it are going to play a most decisive part in the immediate future of world history. Indeed, already the importance of Africa is becoming evident. Yet only those who have had the privilege of living and work ing in some part of that vast and lovely, yet tumultuous, land know its magic. To the great majority of Europeans, it is still a dark and brooding and mysterious continent. One of the reasons for this is that although there have been in recent years a great number of books about Africa, there has been practically nothing from African writers available in English. This anthology, so carefully and comprehensively prepared, will serve to Open the door: to give a glimpse of some of the treasure which is there, within. It will also triumphantly give the lie to that idea, so prevalent in some quarters, that Africa is incapable of producing any creative art.

This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native Races and the War by Josephine E. (Josephine Elizabeth Grey) Butler In the midst of the manifold utterances and discussions on the burning question of to-day, -the War in South Africa, -there is one side of the subject which, it seems to me, has not as yet been considered with the seriousness which it deserves, -and that is the question of Slavery, and of the treatment of the native races of South Africa. Though this question has not yet in England or on the Continent been cited as one of the direct causes of the war, I am convinced, -as are many others, -that it lies very near to the heart of the present trouble. The object of this paper is simply to bring witnesses together who will testify to the past and present condition of the native races under British, Dutch, and Transvaal rule. These witnesses shall not be all of one nation; they shall come from different countries, and among them there shall be representatives of the native peoples themselves. I shall add little of my own to the testimony of these witnesses. But I will say, in advance, that what I desire to make plain for some sincere persons who are perplexed, is this, -that where a Government has established by Law the principle of the complete and final abolition of Slavery, and made its practice illegal for all time, -as our British Government has done, -there is hope for the native races;-there is always hope that, by an appeal to the law and to British authority, any and every wrong done to the natives, which approaches to or threatens the reintroduction of slavery, shall be redressed. The Abolition of Slavery, enacted by our Government in 1834, was the proclamation of a great principle, strong and clear, a straight line by which every enactment dealing with the question, and every act of individuals, or groups of individuals, bearing on the liberty of the natives can be measured, and any deviation from that straight line of principle can be exactly estimated and judged. When we speak of injustice done to the natives by the South African Republics, we are apt to be met with the reproach that the English have also been guilty of cruelty to native races. This is unhappily true, and shall not be disguised in the following pages;-but mark this, -that it is true of certain individuals bearing the English name, true of groups of individuals, of certain adventurers and speculators.... We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades.

Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Book Synopsis Early African American Print Culture by : Lara Langer Cohen
Download or read book Early African American Print Culture written by Lara Langer Cohen and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw both the consolidation of American print culture and the establishment of an African American literary tradition, yet the two are too rarely considered in tandem. In this landmark volume, a stellar group of established and emerging scholars ranges over periods, locations, and media to explore African Americans' diverse contributions to early American print culture, both on the page and off. The book's chapters consider domestic novels and gallows narratives, Francophone poetry and engravings of Liberia, transatlantic lyrics and San Francisco newspapers. Together, they consider how close attention to the archive can expand the study of African American literature well beyond matters of authorship to include issues of editing, illustration, circulation, and reading—and how this expansion can enrich and transform the study of print culture more generally.

Book Synopsis An Uneasy Embrace by : Shobana Shankar
Download or read book An Uneasy Embrace written by Shobana Shankar and published by Hurst Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The entwined histories of Blacks and Indians defy easy explanation. From Ghanaian protests over Gandhi statues to American Vice President Kamala Harris’s story, this relationship—notwithstanding moments of common struggle—seethes with conflicts that reveal how race reverberates throughout the modern world. Shobana Shankar’s groundbreaking intellectual history tackles the controversial question of how Africans and Indians make and unmake their differences. Drawing on archival and oral sources from seven countries, she traces how economic tensions surrounding the Indian diaspora in East and Southern Africa collided with widening Indian networks in West Africa and the Black Atlantic, forcing a racial reckoning over the course of the twentieth century. While decolonisation brought Africans and Indians together to challenge Euro-American white supremacy, discord over caste, religion, sex and skin colour simmered beneath the rhetoric of Afro-Asian solidarity. This book examines the cultural movements, including Pan-Africanism and popular devotionalism, through which Africans and Indians made race consciousness, alongside economic cooperation, a moral priority. Yet rising wealth and nationalist amnesia now threaten this postcolonial ethos. Calls to dismantle statues, from Dakar to Delhi, are not mere symbolism. They express new solidarities which seek to salvage dissenting histories and to preserve the possibility of alternative futures.

Book Synopsis African Cherokees in Indian Territory by : Celia E. Naylor
Download or read book African Cherokees in Indian Territory written by Celia E. Naylor and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forcibly removed from their homes in the late 1830s, Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, and Chickasaw Indians brought their African-descended slaves with them along the Trail of Tears and resettled in Indian Territory, present-day Oklahoma. Celia E. Naylor vividly charts the experiences of enslaved and free African Cherokees from the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma's entry into the Union in 1907. Carefully extracting the voices of former slaves from interviews and mining a range of sources in Oklahoma, she creates an engaging narrative of the composite lives of African Cherokees. Naylor explores how slaves connected with Indian communities not only through Indian customs--language, clothing, and food--but also through bonds of kinship. Examining this intricate and emotionally charged history, Naylor demonstrates that the "red over black" relationship was no more benign than "white over black." She presents new angles to traditional understandings of slave resistance and counters previous romanticized ideas of slavery in the Cherokee Nation. She also challenges contemporary racial and cultural conceptions of African-descended people in the United States. Naylor reveals how black Cherokee identities evolved reflecting complex notions about race, culture, "blood," kinship, and nationality. Indeed, Cherokee freedpeople's struggle for recognition and equal rights that began in the nineteenth century continues even today in Oklahoma.
Book Synopsis Precolonial African Material Culture by : V. Tarikhu Farrar
Download or read book Precolonial African Material Culture written by V. Tarikhu Farrar and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of an inherent backwardness of technology and material culture in early sub-Saharan Africa is a persistent and tenacious myth in the scholarly and popular imagination. Due to the emergence of the field of African studies and the upsurge in historical and archaeological research, in recent decades the stridency of this myth has weakened, and the overtly racist content of arguments mustered in its defense have tended to disappear. But more important are transformations in social, political, and cultural consciousness, which have worked to reshape conceptualizations of African peoples, their histories, and their cultures. Precolonial African Material Culture offers a thorough challenge to the myth of technological backwardness. V. Tarikhu Farrar revisits the early technology of sub-Saharan Africa as revealed by recent research and reconsiders long-possessed primary historical sources. He then explores the ways that indigenous African technologies have influenced the world beyond the African continent.
Book Synopsis Print Culture in Southern Africa by : Caroline Davis
Download or read book Print Culture in Southern Africa written by Caroline Davis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Print Culture in Southern Africa is concerned with the institutions and processes informing textual production, circulation and consumption in the region, over a broad historical period from the late 18th century to the present day. The book is organised around three closely related themes. Firstly, it presents original research into the formation of reading publics and the impact of reading cultures, by uncovering obscure but important reading communities and circuits of book distribution and reception. A second theme is the relationship between print and politics, with a particular focus on the networks of power: how control over the production and circulation of printed books has shaped literary and cultural development. The third theme is transnational print culture, and how the control exercised by publishers in Europe and America has shaped literature and society in southern Africa. Drawing together interdisciplinary research and diverse methodologies, the collection encompasses a range of perspectives, including literary studies, anthropology, publishing studies, the history of the book and art history, and many of the chapters are based on previously unexamined archives and collections. The volume contributes to current debates and opens up new and exciting ways of furthering the study of postcolonial literature and African book history. The chapters included in this book were originally published in the Journal of Southern African Studies.
