E-mail : [email protected] Author: Guy Kegels, ITM, Antwerp Title: “Vertical analysis” of Human African Trypanosomiasis D/1997/0450/7 ISBN 90-76070-07-5 ISSN 1370-6462 I Introduction Sleeping sickness, as a clinical entity in humans, has been known to Europeans for centuries. It was described in medical terms as early as 1734 by John Atkins, a surgeon of the Royal Navy, under the name 'sleeping dis- temper'. For a long time it was thought that this disease was present only in the African coastal areas, the only ones that were known by Europeans, and it was regarded as something of a curiosity. Then began the penetration of the interior, and later the colonial drive, punctuated by happenings like the Brussels 'International Geographical Conference' in 1876, called by king Leopold II, and in a more formally geo-political way with the Berlin Confer- ence of 1884-1885, called by Bismarck. The African continent south of Egypt and Sudan, and north of the Zambezi River was to be explored, civilised, mapped, protected, occupied; the slave trade was to be suppressed and other forms of trade were to be fostered. The European powers 'went in'. Quickly sleeping sickness was to be regarded as a major problem. Africa was generally considered as an insalubrious place, but this disease was visibly something very special.

Greene Dr. Maxim Matusevich April 29,2009 Abstract As a symbol of hope, pride, and freedom, Africa has long influenced Black American concepts of identity, culture, and politics. During the first half of the twentieth century, cultural movements such as the Harlem Renaissance and Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Inlprovement Association (UNIA) increased Black Americans' awareness of Africa and strengthened concrete historical ties between the "motherland and the Diaspora in the United States. Between 1934 and 1941, the Italian-Ethiopian crisis sparked enormous support of Ethiopia from the African American community. While this event is often treated as a watershed event in African American politics, this study suggests that the outcry over the Italian aggression in Ethiopia reflects the evolutionary process of Black America's growing concern for Africa which originated decades, even centuries prior to the Italian-Ethiopian crisis and which experienced continuing affnmation Events of the 1920s and 1930s triggered an increased awareness of these links between all Africans in their quests for political independence linking colonialism in Africa to racism in the Diaspora.

  • The Uses of Melodrama: George S. Schuyler and the Liberian Labor Crisis
    The Uses of Melodrama: George S. Schuyler and the Liberian Labor Crisis Jeffrey B. Ferguson Amherst College (Draft Copy: Do not quote) In January, 1931 as George Schuyler steamed toward Liberia to study labor conditions in the troubled black Republic, his raucous and controversial satire Black No More appeared to the loud cheers of W. E. B. Du Bois, Alain Locke, Countee Cullen, Walter White, Carl Van Vechten and many other regulars of the Harlem Renaissance. The first full length satire written by a black American and an important landmark of the period, Black No More relates the events following the invention of a three-day treatment--involving "electric nutrition" and "glandular control"--that transforms blacks into "one-hundred percent Americans." Despite the ardent opposition of the Democratic Party, black political leadership, and a Ku Klux Klan spin-off called the Knights of Nordica, the treatment succeeds overwhelmingly, thus defeating the power of whiteness by turning everyone white. The sheer charm of this plot, along with its evenhandedness in poking fun at both sides of the color line, brought cheers from the critics mentioned above, but an equally loud chorus of jeers came from Rudolph Fisher, P. L. Prattis, H. L. Mencken, and Dorthy Van Doren, who judged Schuyler's send-up of American race relations as alternately crude, disrespectful, vicious, and envious of black leadership. Schuyler could not have hoped for more. Of all literary modes, satire appears weakest in the midst of praise and strongest as the object of denouncement. To his credit, Schuyler had inspired a little of both, just enough acclaim to confirm Black No More's capacity to tickle and just enough censure to establish its ability to cut.
