Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy's Civilizing Mission in Africa This is not a dedication, for, this little work is only an unpretentious exposition of some rather queer ideas, a few daring opinions, and perhaps a very fantastic conclusion. It is instead only an address from an Italian, who adores his own country and in consequence, cannot love the German Emperor although he admires in him the greatest living ruler the world has had since the great Napoleon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Redemption of Africa: A Story of Civilization, With Maps, Statistical Tables and Select Bibliography of the Literature of African Missions In November, 1891, (though the following passage was not found until December, 1896, when this preface, as first finished, was already six months old), Regions Beyond editorially said of Cust's Africa Rediviva: The title led us to hope a graphic and comprehensive View of Africa's regeneration. This it does not give; one hun dred and twenty pages could not. Africa is so large, its missions so numerous and the story so full of interest, that it would need a large volume to give even a sketch. It deserves a volume, for the modern campaign is well worthy to be chronicled as well as catalogued, being full of warning and encouragement. It is full also of strik ing contrasts to the campaign of the medieval church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Late Nineteenth-Century Italy in Africa written by Stephen C. Bruner and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Civilizing Africa” – bringing European institutions and society to Africa – was a common rationale for nineteenth-century European expansions into that continent. However, in March 1891 a news correspondent accused officials in Italy’s Red Sea colony of having ordered, without trial, the secret and brutal killing of certain indigenous notables. A scandal erupted because the news contradicted civilizing expectations, portraying Italians rather than Africans as the barbarians. The press drove a public debate over the accusations, but the debate ultimately led to an unanticipated reversal: public acceptance of the killings, because most Italians no longer considered European standards applicable to Africans. Reportage on three topics turned out to be most influential in shifting the public outlook: an Italo-Abyssinian diplomatic impasse, an on-going Africa famine, and the public persona of a colonial commander. Historians have read the 1891 affair as an inconsequential, essentially minor event in the run-up to the 1896 battle of Adua (Adwa), Italy’s defeat by African forces that some have called an event of world-historical consequence. Yet the Livraghi affair re-shaped the Italian outlook on colonialism, opening the door to the later Italo-Abyssinian conflict and an event like Adua. The affair was so important to contemporary Italians that it occupied public attention for ten months, and influenced attitudes and colonial policy for decades. It prompted an enduring change without which there might have been no Adua.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lure of Africa The depression on the part of the missionaries was so apparent that I came home resolved to cheer them up in every way in my power. I undertook to demonstrate that Africa not only is not lacking in fea tures which interest the Christian public, but that it is peculiarly the field which lends itself to romantic description and appeal. I have always held that, next to highly cultivated beings like poets and inventors, the most interesting thing in the world is primitive man. And surely Africa is not lacking in material of this kind. As for the attitude of student volunteers, that is largely a matter of education. With their hearts inclined toward the foreign work, if we give them the facts, interest will follow as a matter of course. This at least has been my theory in the more than 200 addresses I have been enabled to give on Africa and its needs. If this book helps in any wise to turn the tide of interest toward this neglected continent, I shall be amply repaid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Redemption of Africa, Vol. 2: A Story of Civilization, With Maps, Statistical Tables and Select Bibliography of the Literature of African Missions The Reformed Episcopal church has, absolutely, done little, relatively, much, for the American Negro. In 1875 Bishop Cummins granted canonical recognition to four hundred colored Episcopalians in South Carolina. Stevens, his evangelist, afterward bishop, opened a trainingsschool for the ministry. Since 1882 the work has received aid from the general council. In 1892 these Reformed Episcopal Negroes numbered twenty lays preachers, thirtyzeight congregations and eighteen hun dred and twentysfour communicants; maintained a paro chial school at Charleston; and supported a girl in India. The women also send annual aid to Africa. Bishop Stevens before 1861 trained the boys who as Stevens Battery fired the first Shot at Fort Sumter; in 1893 he participated in the Chicago Congress on Africa. So swift are the changes of life and especially in America*! When Turner, a Negro bishop of a Methodist denomi nation, spoke of the wrongs of his race, the southern White man solemnly affirmed that the southern black man was right. The Episcopalian and the Methodist alike advocated governmental aid for the Negro emigrant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe in Africa, the Nineteenth Century Hile one morning preparing to begin this sketch of Europe in Africa, my eye fell upon the column of Situations Wanted in a local morning paper, and I read the advertisement of a young Swiss who desired a position as Valet and interpreter, concluding with the words: NO objection to Africa. Such an announcement could not have been possible in 1822, the year when the reminiscences contained in this series of papers on the nineteenth century may be said to begin. South Africa was then only a field for missionary labors, or the watering station for great merchantmen upon their way to India; West Africa, East Africa, and Central Africa were known only to the Portuguese and slave traders. The Africa that borders on the Mediterranean had severed its connection with Europe since the fall of the Roman Empire, and had sunk into that state of semi-barbarism which com bines the vices of civilization with those of savagery.

Download or read book Italian National Identity in the Scramble for Africa written by Giuseppe Finaldi and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italy's First African War (1880-1896) pitted a young and ambitious European nation against the ancient Empire of Ethiopia. The Least of Europe's Great Powers rashly assailed Africa's most formidable military power. The outcome was humiliating defeat for Italy and the survival, uniquely for any African nation in the years of the European Scramble for that continent, of Ethiopian independence. Notwithstanding Italy's disastrous first experience in the colonial fray, this book argues that the impact of the war went well beyond the battlefields of the Ethiopian highlands and reached into the minds of the Italian people at home. Through a detailed and exhaustive study of Italian popular culture, this book asks how far the First African War impacted on the Italian nation-building project and how far Italians were themselves changed by undergoing the experience of war and defeat in East Africa. Finaldi argues, for the first time in historiography on the subject, that there was substantial support for and awareness of Italy's military campaign and that 'Empire', as has come to be regarded as fundamental in the histories of other European countries, needs to be brought firmly into the mainstream of Italian national history. This book is an essential contribution to debates on the relationship between European national identity and culture and imperialism in the late 19th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Michele L. Louro compiles the debates, introduces the personalities, and reveals the ideas that seeded Jawaharlal Nehru's political vision for India and the wider world. Set between the world wars, this book argues that Nehru's politics reached beyond India in order to fulfill a greater vision of internationalism that was rooted in his experiences with anti-imperialist and anti-fascist mobilizations in the 1920s and 1930s. Using archival sources from India, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, and Russia, the author offers a compelling study of Nehru's internationalism as well as contributes a necessary interwar history of institutions and networks that were confronting imperialist, capitalist, and fascist hegemony in the twentieth-century world. Louro provides readers with a global intellectual history of anti-imperialism and Nehru's appropriation of it, while also establishing a history of a typically overlooked period.

Download or read book Cultural Encounters written by Charles Burdett and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These timely reconsiderations of European Travel writing from the 1930s reassert the oppositional primacy of subjective translations and disavow hermetic notions that travel should or even can be divorced from socio-political or cultural contexts." - Journeys "Cultural Encounters offers a rich, varied and yet impressively coherent collection of essays on the meanings and practices of travel writing in 1930s Europe. Carefully building on theoretical interest in travel writing of recent years, the essays follow written journeys to Graham Greene's Liberia and Lorca's Cuba, to Fascist Italy's Greece and France's Indochina, and many more. Throughout, texts and authors are shown to be alive with hybrid constructions of self and of ideological, national and colonial identity. What is more, the book provides compelling reasons for seeing 1930s travel writing as being of particular fascination, lying on a cusp between the Depression, totalitarianism, colonialism and modernism, and the seeds of mass tourism, post-colonialism and globalization." - Re-reading German literature since 1945, Robert Gordon, Cambridge University The 1930s were one of the most important decades in defining the history of the twentieth century. It saw the rise of right-wing nationalism, the challenge to established democracies and the full force of imperialist aggression. Cultural Encounters makes an important contribution to our understanding of the ideological and cultural forces which were active in defining notions of national identity in the 1930s. By examining the work of writers and journalists from a range of European countries who used the medium of travel writing to articulate perceptions of their own and other cultures, the book gives a comprehensive account of the complex intellectual climate of the 1930s.
