My priority has been to try to render this history as it was experienced by Africans, rather than as it has been described by Western observers. Naturally, Western historians tend to focus on European colonial control, but how was that occupation experienced by Africans at the time? When we look at it more closely, we find that, for most Africans, the colonial intrusion, which was to have huge consequences, was not seen as the major issue in most of the continent during this period. Of course, in North Africa, Napoléon Bonaparte landed in Egypt in 1799 and the French in Algiers in 1830, and, in southern Africa, the British were in the Cape in 1795. However, elsewhere, across the vast majority of the continent, the new European presence became crucial only in the last third of the century. Before then, many Africans were not even aware of it. This is the reason why the European conquest enters the picture only toward the end of this book. At the time, what was felt to be most important were the political and re- ligious processes that were internal to African societies. Most of them were still independent. It is only in hindsight that it becomes apparent that some of these changes were at least partly in reaction to outside economic influences: for example, the gradual end of the slave trades, both across the Atlantic and, half a century later, across the Indian Ocean, was more or less related to the early impact of the British Industrial Revolution. Nevertheless, the most important issues in the nineteenth century were the ideological and cultural changes that resulted, in many areas, in mass conversions to Islam. Christianity, by contrast, did not become popular until the end of the century. Other crucial factors were the social and political transformations caused by changes in the motivations behind and organiza- tion of African slavery and the internal slave trade. The increase in internal slavery was inseparable from world history, but, except in Portuguese areas, it had little to do with colonization, even though its growth was used as a justification for European colonialism at the end of the century. ix x preface These factors were common to all areas of the continent, which is why I have presented the analysis thematically. The broad outlines are clear in the table of contents. Naturally, I had to make choices, and the study is not exhaus- tive. It focuses on the internal aspects of the era’s major historical changes, and is intended for readers (especially but not only university students) who seek to understand the history of Africa as seen from the inside. This book contains no earth-shattering “revelations” flowing from new research. It contains no new discoveries. Most of it is based on the work of innumerable researchers who have devoted themselves to describing the history of Africa. It is primarily a work that adopts a different point of view and tries to be as “Afrocentered” as possible, though the author is of course conscious of not being an African. In short, it is a concrete attempt at African history situated from a postcolonial perspective. The goal may not be to write history “from below,” but it is at least to write history from Africa, with an African viewpoint. Whatever our nationality, as historians it is our duty and desire to try to see things from multiple points of view. Here, I can only express my warm gratitude to the earlier authors who made it possible for me to write this book. Many of them have written in English. There is an incomplete list of their works in the bibliography, which includes mainly the works that I used directly. But my research has been informed by many, many others, and I am only too aware that they have not all been acknowledged here by name. I would also like to give special thanks to the readers of the French edition, whose comments allowed me to amend and complete some of my arguments. I am especially grateful to Roland Oliver and Jean-Louis Triaud, but of course there were many others. I was also greatly aided by the questions my students asked at Diderot-Paris 7 University, and at Binghamton University, SUNY, where I had the opportunity to teach part-time from 1981 to 2005. In fact, this book results from years of teaching the topic, and I hope that this record will be useful for the next generation. Finally I thank my translator, Mary Baker, for her efficiency and kindness, and also my production editor, Angela Piliouras, for skillfully and attentively guiding the English-language edition to publication. I take complete respon- sibility for any remaining errors and omissions.

    PROGRAM ABSTRACTS FOR THE 15TH TRIENNIAL SYMPOSIUM ON AFRICAN ART Africa and Its Diasporas in the Market Place: Cultural Resources and the Global Economy The core theme of the 2011 ACASA symposium, proposed by Pamela Allara, examines the current status of Africa’s cultural resources and the influence—for good or ill—of market forces both inside and outside the continent. As nation states decline in influence and power, and corporations, private patrons and foundations increasingly determine the kinds of cultural production that will be supported, how is African art being reinterpreted and by whom? Are artists and scholars able to successfully articulate their own intellectual and cultural values in this climate? Is there anything we can do to address the situation? WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2O11, MUSEUM PROGRAM All Museum Program panels are in the Lenart Auditorium, Fowler Museum at UCLA Welcoming Remarks (8:30). Jean Borgatti, Steven Nelson, and Marla C. Berns PANEL I (8:45–10:45) Contemporary Art Sans Frontières. Chairs: Barbara Thompson, Stanford University, and Gemma Rodrigues, Fowler Museum at UCLA Contemporary African art is a phenomenon that transcends and complicates traditional curatorial categories and disciplinary boundaries. These overlaps have at times excluded contemporary African art from exhibitions and collections and, at other times, transformed its research and display into a contested terrain. At a moment when many museums with so‐called ethnographic collections are expanding their chronological reach by teasing out connections between traditional and contemporary artistic production, many museums of Euro‐American contemporary art are extending their geographic reach by globalizing their curatorial vision.

  • Les Noirs De L'afrique (Maurice Delafosse, 1922)
    Maurice Delafosse : Les Noirs de l'Afrique (1922) 15 des siècles se sont desséchés ou transformés en nappes souter- raines. Il est probable que l’Afrique du Nord, très différente déjà du reste du continent et se rapprochant de l’Europe méditerra- néenne plus que de l’Afrique centrale et méridionale, était habi- tée par une autre race d’hommes. Selon toute probabilité, les Négrilles de l’époque antérieure à la venue des Noirs en Afrique devaient être des chasseurs et des pêcheurs, vivant à l’état semi-nomade qui convient à des hommes se livrant exclusivement à la chasse ou à la pêche. Leurs mœurs se rapprochaient vraisemblablement beaucoup de celles des Négrilles qui existent encore à l’heure actuelle et sans doute parlaient-ils, comme ceux-ci, des langues mi-isolantes mi-agglutinantes caractérisées, au point de vue phonétique, par le phénomène des « clics 1 » et par l’emploi des tons musicaux. Les grands arbres des forêts, les grottes des montagnes, des abris sous roche, des huttes de branchages ou d’écorces, des ha- bitations lacustres construites sur pilotis devaient leur servir, selon les régions, de résidences plus ou moins temporaires. Peut-être s’adonnaient-ils à l’industrie de la pierre taillée ou po- lie et convient-il de leur attribuer les haches, les pointes de flèche, les grattoirs et les nombreux instruments en pierre que l’on trouve un peu partout dans l’Afrique noire contemporaine et que les Nègres actuels, qui en ignorent la provenance, consi- dèrent comme des pierres tombées du ciel et comme les traces matérielles laissées par la foudre.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Conflicting Identities: Algerian Jewish Migration to France as a Result of the Algerian War, 1954-1962 ELINOR FARBER SPRING 2021 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in History, Economics, and French with honors in History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Tobias Brinkmann Malvin and Lea Bank Associate Professor of Jewish Studies and History Thesis Supervisor Cathleen Cahill Associate Professor of History Honors Adviser * Electronic approvals are on file. i ABSTRACT In 1954, the Algerian War of Independence from France began. Algeria’s Jewish population, which numbered around 140,000 at its height in 1954, had lived in Algeria for centuries and gained French citizenship in 1870 with the passing of the Crémieux Decree. Although as a collective Algeria’s Jews remained neutral throughout the Algerian War, they faced violence and negative economic consequences. Additionally, representatives from both sides of the war met with Algerian Jewish leaders to try to win their support. Algeria gained its independence in 1962, and around 90% of Algeria’s Jewish population immigrated to France as a result. Once in France, they faced housing and job shortages, as well as some discrimination from the French Jewish community. However, they were able to integrate into French society rather quickly and reinvigorate the French Jewish community. Throughout the war and their migration to France, they experienced conflicting

  • ESTABLISHMENT of STRATEGIES for IMPROVING AFFORDABLE and HABITABLE PUBLIC HOUSING PROVISION in ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA Eni, Chika
    British Journal of Environmental Sciences Vol.3, No.1, pp.23-42, March 2015 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajouirnals.org) ESTABLISHMENT OF STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING AFFORDABLE AND HABITABLE PUBLIC HOUSING PROVISION IN ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA Eni, Chikadibia Michael (Arc., Dr.) Department of Architectural-Technology, Federal Polytechnic, Oko. P.M.B. 021, Aguata, Anambra State, Nigeria ABSTRACT: This view of this study was based on the establishment of strategies for improving affordable and habitable public housing provision in Anambra state, Nigeria. This study utilized a survey research design in the collection of data. The universe of study consisted of 2,805 occupants comprising mainly households, and 2,805 house units, comprising 1,032 in Awka city and 1,773 in Onitsha city. The sample size of 30% (842) was used as derived from Taro Yamani technique. A stratified random sampling of these disparate public housing estates based on their proportion to population was studied. A 16-item structured questionnaire on establishment of strategies for improving affordable and habitable public housing provision in Anambra state, Nigeria (QSAHPH) was developed. This instrument was face and content validated. Cronbach Alpha Technique index was used for reliability test which gave a value of 0.90. The data were obtained by pulling all positive responses for each group of occupants (Awka or Onitsha) as positive responses and as negative responses and their proportions obtained and filled below pooled observations (counts). Undecided responses were left as neutral. Complete responses were 797 comprising 299 occupants in Awka and 498 occupants in Onitsha.
