  • 150 Chapter 1: the Peopling of Africa Chapter 2: Theories
    Notes CHAPTER 1: THE PEOPLING OF AFRICA 1. For a first-hand account of investigations in the area, including assessment of the work of the Leakey family, see Johanson and Shreeve (1991). 2. Key works include Gutmann (1925, 1926, cf. also 1966), Smith (1927), Tempels (1959), Westermann (1937, 1949), and Young (1937, 1940). Very little of Gutmann’s work has been translated, but for an assessment in English see Winter (1979). For an assesment of Young see Forster (1989). 3. For overall assessments of Senghor see Hyams (1971) and Markovitz (1969). 4. Key works are Fanon (1967, 1964). For a brief overall assessment see Caute (1970). 5. Nyerere’s own thoughts are to be found in Nyerere (1966a, esp. 1–22 and 162–71). For a recent assessment see Legum and Mmari (1995). 6. Kaunda (1976) presents his own exposition of humanism. For comments see Meebelo (1973) and Ranganathan (1986). CHAPTER 2: THEORIES OF RACE AND ETHNICITY 1. For more detail concerning the Hindu notion of caste, see Chapter 5. 2. Such is what happened in 1979, when Tanzania invaded Uganda. It is true that this was provoked by illegal annexation by the Ugandan army of a part of northern Tanzania: but Tanzanian troops did more than recapture the territory, and proceeded into Uganda to spearhead the overthrow of Amin. CHAPTER 3: RACISM, RACIALISM AND SEGREGATION IN THE AFRICAN CONTEXT 1. For discussion of the historical situation in South Africa see Wilson and Thompson (1969); and Worden (1994). 2. Continuities in Afrikaner history are discussed in Patterson (1957). 3. The term ‘Bantu’ was used in South Africa to refer to South African Blacks, but was disliked by them.
