    White Man’s Country: The Image of Africa in the American Century By Aaron John Bady A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Bryan Wagner, Chair Professor Donna Jones Professor Scott Saul Professor Michael Watts Fall 2013 Abstract White Men’s Country: The Image of Africa in the American Century By Aaron John Bady Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Bryan Wagner, Chair It is often taken for granted that “the West’s image of Africa” is a dark and savage jungle, the “white man’s grave” which formed the backdrop for Joseph Conrad’s hyper-canonical Heart of Darkness. In the wake of decolonization and independence, African writers like Chinua Achebe and Ngugi wa Thiong’o provided alternate accounts of the continent, at a moment when doing so was rightly seen to be “The Empire Writes Back.” Yet in the years since then, “going beyond the clichés” has itself become a kind of cliché. In the last decade in particular, the global investment class has taken up the appeal to “Re-brand Africa” with a vengeance. Providing positive images of Africa is not necessarily a radical critique of empire’s enduring legacies, in other words; it can also be an effort to brand and market “Africa” as a product for capital speculation. In White Men’s Country: The Image of Africa in the American Century, I describe how American literary investments in Africa grew, alongside the slow decline of European cultural imperialism.

This tall, lean, handsome, urbane, but unflamboyant model of a corporation president makes film hits so easily, so efficiently, and so calmly that he is not news in a community of blaring trumpets, crashing cymbals and screaming egos." -Frank Capra Henry King, one of the founding fathers of American film, who began his career early in the century, remains today one of the legendary figures in Hollywood, and though he preserves his privacy, his films such as "The Song of Bernadette," "Twelve O'clock High" and "The Gunfighter" speak for themselves, and these and other major works will be part of a seven week retrospective given in King's honor by New York's Museum of Modern Art in association with the Directors Guild of America. The Virginia-born director, who has specialized, like D.W. Griffith and John Ford, in Americana themes since his first classic, "Tol'able David," and later with "State Fair", "In Old Chicago," "Jesse James" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band," will make a trip from the West Coast to New York to participate in the opening of this program. On June 29 and 30, he will address the Museum audiences, although he seldom makes public appearances. While he contributed to Hollywood's worldwide reputation, King, who recognized such early superstars as Richard Barthelmess, Ronald Colman and Gary Cooper and gave them their first leading roles on the screen, has managed to retain his relative anonymity in an ostentatious environment.

ABSTRACT African Genres enacts a broad reassessment of academic and popular conceptions of “Africa” through analyzing written literatures from the Long East Coast. It demonstrates how geography, literary form, and interpretive practices interplay to formulate these broad conceptions. As a whole, the work demonstrates how interpretations of African geography affected its place in world history; discusses how the heuristic of genre shapes how Western readers read non-Western texts; and finally, calls for a reimagining of the limits and characteristics of an African poetics. In respective chapters, African Genres enacts close-readings of the form, content, and style of texts written between 1860 and 1970, a time period that intentionally bridges multiple colonialisms (Arab, European, and internal) and postcolonialisms. In this work, Zanzibar (along with the Swahili coast and East African interior), Egypt, and South Africa are the representative locations of the Long East Coast.

Produced in England, in association with Nigerian Television. "Basil Davidson is one of the major world authorities on African history, and this series is very well done. In some places he is presenting personal interpretations for which there is not as yet a scholarly consensus. He is generally sympathetic to African reinterpretations of world history." ‐‐ Reid Part 1: "Different but Equal." Davidson goes back to Africa's origins to show that, far from having no great art or technology, Africa gave rise to some of the world's greatest early civilizations. Part 2: "Mastering a Continent." Looking closely at three different communities, this program examines the way African peoples carve out an existence in an often hostile environment. Two very different farming villages show how, in Africa, spiritual development goes hand in hand with technological advance. Part 3: "Caravans of Gold." Davidson traces the routes of the medieval gold trade, which reached from Africa to India and China in the east and westward to the city‐states of Italy. African rulers grew rich and powerful ‐ the King of Ghana was described by an Arab traveler in 951 as the wealthiest of all kings on earth.
