Todos nós temos uma noção do que queremos dizer quando estamos usando esses termos. Conotações vagas surgem, o que faz com que as palavras deslizem para a linguagem quotidiana e se tornem parte da fraseologia comum. Muitas vezes, a tradição está associada com “maneiras antigas” enquanto o moderno significa algum tipo de “novidade” (na linguagem atual nós falaríamos em “desatualizadas” e “atualizadas”) e existem inúmeros outros pares de oposições binárias que vêm à mente: retrógrado versus progressista, estagnação versus progresso, estática versus dinâmica, visão religiosa (não científica) versus científica, universal versus local, etc. 1 Brevemente resumido a partir da “Introdução” de The ‘Traditional’ and the ‘Modern’ in West African (Ghanian) History: Case Studies on Co ‑existence and Interaction (ed) Per Hernas (2005) Série Africana n. 7, Departamento de História, Universidade Norueguesa de Ciência e Tecnologia, Trondheim, Noruega, p. ix ‑ xxvii. 1259 Per Hernæs Essas imagens contrastantes são muito problemáticas.

  • Al-Azhar and the Orders of Knowledge
    Al-Azhar and the Orders of Knowledge Dahlia El-Tayeb M. Gubara Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Dahlia El-Tayeb M. Gubara All rights reserved ABSTRACT Al-Azhar and the Orders of Knowledge Dahlia El-Tayeb M. Gubara Founded by the Fatimids in 970 A.D., al-Azhar has been described variously as “the great mosque of Islam,” “the brilliant one,” “a great seat of learning…whose light was dimmed.” Yet despite its assumed centrality, the illustrious mosque-seminary has elicited little critical study. The existing historiography largely relies on colonial-nationalist teleologies charting a linear narrative of greatness (the ubiquitous ‘Golden Age’), followed by centuries of decline, until the moment of European-inspired modernization in the late nineteenth century. The temporal grid is in turn plotted along a spatial axis, grounded in a strong centrifugal essentialism that reifies culturalist geographies by positioning Cairo (and al-Azhar) at a center around which faithfully revolve concentric peripheries. Setting its focus on the eighteenth century and beyond, this dissertation investigates the discursive postulates that organize the writing of the history of al-Azhar through textual explorations that pivot in space (between Europe and non-Europe) and time (modernity and pre- modernity). It elucidates shifts in the entanglement of disciplines of knowledge with those of ‘the self’ at a particular historical juncture and location, while paying close attention to the act of reading itself: its centrality as a concept and its multiple forms and possibilities as a method.

  • Not Yet the Kano Chronicle: King-Lists with and Without Narrative Elaboration from Nineteenth-Century Kano
    NOT YET THE KANO CHRONICLE: KING-LISTS WITH AND WITHOUT NARRATIVE ELABORATION FROM NINETEENTH-CENTURY KANO JOHN O. HUNWICK In an article that will appear in a forthcoming issue of History in Africa, I have argued, contrary to M.G. Smith and Murray Last in particular, that the document that H.R. Palmer published under the title ‘The Kano Chronicle’ (KC) was not simply the latest update of a chronicle that had, as it were, been put out in a first edition in the sixteenth or seventeenth century and periodically added to.1 Rather it was an account of Kano history compiled for the first time during the reign of Emir of Kano Mu˛ammad Bello (1882-93), reflecting a Kanocentric point of view in the face of a Sokoto overlordship that was to overrearch itself shortly afterwards and precipitate the Kano civil war (basasa). The sources for the chronicle were largely oral—court traditions, praise epithets of rulers (kirarai), traditions of the learned, notably those who claimed descent from the North African scholar Mu˛ammad b. fiAbd al-Karım al-Maghılı (d. 909/1504), and apparently traditions stemming from local non- Muslim populations (maguzawa). There was, however, clearly a written ‘chronological’ skeleton that supported these traditions and gave the chronicle the form it has. For while there are no absolute dates in the KC, its framework is a succession of rulers, each one numbered in order with a mention of the number of years (and/or months or days) he ruled and in most 1 My article has the title ‘A historical whodunnit: the so-called “Kano Chronicle” and its place in the historiography of Kano’.

  • Re-Inventing the Living Past from the Utilitarian Values of Pre-Historic Archaeology
    Nkwocha, A. E. – Re-inventing the Living Past from the Utilitarian Values of Pre-Historic Archaeology: RE-INVENTING THE LIVING PAST FROM THE UTILITARIAN VALUES OF PRE-HISTORIC ARCHAEOLOGY: A CASE FOR INTER-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH NKWOCHA, ANTHONY E DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES ALVAN IKOKU FEDERAL COLLEGE OF EDUCATION OWERRI IMO STATE Abstract This paper argues that the past material culture of any human society should always be subjected to criticisms and interpretive analysis based on archaeological evidence. It opines that in the interest of historical scholarship, certain inherent distortions that characterize oral and written histories should be re-evaluated, through the scientific research efforts of archaeology, to pave the way for more objective historical research. This paper submits that pre-historic archaeology can be very relevant to historical studies through its memorable artifacts which help the historian to dig deep into the dust heap of ancient cultures and civilization. Finally, this paper recommends that the archaeology curriculum should be overhauled to suit the needs of our eodern time while Ministries of CulturE afd Tourism at all levels of governmenp should exploit the rich heritage of ar#haeological sites like Nok, @aima, Ig`o-Ekwu, the styhistic terracotta of Ife and Benin Ivory mask cultures. Key Words: T`e living past histnry, Utilitarian values, PrE-history, Archaeology. Antroduction The ability of phe h)storian to reconstruct the past is always governed by tha evidence of past material cultere kf any group of people whether literate or pre-literate. Historians are in agreement that the past material celture of any human society should always be subjec4ed tm ariticises and ifterpretative analysis based mn tha canons of histgrical scholarship.

  • Historical Dictionary of the Gambia

Despite its small size and population, it was able to establish itself as a func- tioning parliamentary democracy, a status it retained for nearly 30 years. The Gambia thus avoided the common fate of other African countries, which soon fell under authoritarian single-party rule or experienced military coups. In addi- tion, its enviable political stability, together with modest economic success, enabled it to avoid remaining under British domination or being absorbed by its larger French-speaking neighbor, Senegal. It was also able to defeat an attempted coup d’état in July 1981, but, ironically, when other African states were returning to democratic government, Gambian democracy finally suc- Historical Dictionary of Dictionary Historical cumbed to a military coup on 22 July 1994.

The time frame spans from the initial arrival of hunting, farming and fishing communities in the fourth millennium BCE until the nineteenth century CE. This work differs from other histories in that it marks the first exploration of religious and political power dynamics of the early history of the Niger-Benue confluence region over the longue durée. The engagement of Nupe, Northern Yoruba and Igala polities with regional and global historical processes—involving the political, economic, and social transformations caused by the Trans-Saharan trade, Atlantic economy, and expansion of Islam—is of central concern.

While China stresses noninterventionist foreign policies, the US, at least rhetorically, if not in practice, links its energy policy in Africa to its foreign policy goals. China’s petroleum diplomacy in Africa has raised concern among some scholars and policymakers about the effect an increased Chinese economic presence will have on American foreign policy objectives.
