Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ...and is used adjectively. The English people, with that supreme contempt for every language, save their own, which too often characterises them, usually pronounce this word as Bek-wana or Bek-u-ana. It should be pronounced as Betchwdna, Mo-tchwdna,1 and Setchwdna. Though not absolutely correct, this will be practicallycorrect, and a useful guide to the reader. The Bangwaketse tribe, properly speaking, who live at Kanye, number some 15,000, exclusive of the subject tribes living here and there in the country, and which number another 5000, making the number of people subject to him, 20,000, and about the same as Khame ruled over, before his brothers Eraditladi and Hohakhose" separated from him, recently. Among the tribes subject to Bathoeng, in addition to his own Bangwaketse, are the following: --Name of Tribe. Bakhatla Bakhatla. Bamangwato Barolong Batlhaping. Makhalahari Masarwa (Bushmen) Living at Moshopa. Kanye. Kgomari. Moshaning, etc. Garanaka, etc. In various places. Hunters and wanderers in the desert. J Mo=long o as in mode.. Batboeng's name is not often pronounced correctly by the white people, even in Bechwanaland. Most commonly the chiefs name is pronounced Batwain. This has probably come about from the Sechwana spelling of it, viz. Bathoen, the n not being understood as standing for ng. The name should be pronounced as Batwing. For the reader's convenience, it will thus be spelt in the following pages. It has already been stated that the Bangwaketse broke away from their elder brothers the Bakwena, under Ngwaketse, after whom they are still called Ba ( = the people of)--Ngwaketse. This happened nearly 200 years ago. The chiefs who have ruled over the Bangwaketse tribe since that day, are as follows: --Name of Chief. 5. Makatall....

Book excerpt: The people of West Africa were among the earlier makers of a great civilization and cultures educations and institutions long before the arrival of western slavery, colonization and long before they appeared as slave on white's plantations in Jamestown, Virginia. Additionally, the rich and colorful history, art, and folklore of West Africa- the ancestral home of most African Americans- present evidence of this, and more. Contrary to a misconception that still prevails, Africans were familiar with medicine, science, craftsmanship, religion, literature, and art for many years before their contact with the western world. Before the disintegration of the political structures of the West African Kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhay and the eventual internal fights and struggled that created the condition for Western slavery and colonization of West Africa and the African continent. Most of the western African societies were the incubators of greatness such as universities, scholars, economic and industrial treading posts. The kings and military leaders were held in reverence by many in the earlier days. Far across Europe and Asia, traders encountered wealth and enlightenment from the African kingdoms that were striving for greatness. In ancient West Africa, some rulers expanded their kingdoms into empires and built great magnificent armies whose numbers coerced entire nations into submission. In the three great kingdoms, some military generals crafted techniques of military science that were adopted into modern-day military battles that have been used by western military leaders. There were scholars whose vision of life showed foresight and wisdom, and their priests and other religious personalities spoke of gods that were kind to humans and the universe. The kingdom or empire of Ghana was the first of the great Kingdoms of Western Sudan to become known to European explorers. According to some historical accounts, the kingdom of Ghana begins in the second century A.D. and has a known recorded history of one thousand years. However, some historians believe that Ghana was founded as early as 700 B.C. It is believed that an impressive list of 44 kings had ruled in that land before 1000 A.D. A dynasty of indigenous African kings came to power near the end of the eighth century (770 A.D.), some of the kings were believed to have come from Wagudugu. These were Mossi people who came from an area formerly called Upper Volta and now called Burkina Faso. These indigenous kings were called Sarakoles or Sonukes. The period from the beginning of this dynasty to the invasion of Ghana by Abu Bekr of the Sosso in 1076 A.D. was the Golden Age of ancient Ghana.

Download or read book Nigerian Chiefs written by Olufemi Vaughan and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of how traditional power structures in Nigeria have survived the forces of colonialism and the modernization processes of postcolonial regimes. This book analyzes how indigenous political power structures in Nigeria survived both the constricting forces of colonialism and the modernization programs of postcolonial regimes. With twenty detailed case studies on colonial andpostcolonial Nigerian history, the complex interactions between chieftaincy structures and the rapidly shifting sociopolitical and economic conditions of the twentieth century become evident. Drawing on the interactions between the state and chieftaincy, this study goes beyond earlier Africanist scholarship that attributes the resilience of these indigenous structures to their enduring normative and utilitarian qualities. Linked to externally-derived forces, and legitimated by neotraditional themes, chieftaincy structures were distorted by the indirect rule system, transformed by competing communal claims, and legitimated a dominant ethno-regional power configuration. Olufemi Vaughan is Professor in the Department of Africana Studies and the Department of History, State University of New York at Stony Brook. Winner of the 2001 Cecil B. Currey Book-length Award from the Association ofThird World Studies.
