It can also be seen as a contribution to a number of areas of scholarly inquiry and debate. First, it is a study in the historical anthropology of "Western" capitalist society, at the height of British imperial power and industrial might, as seen by intelligent outsiders. The reconstruction of the "discoveries" of imperial Europe and North America by observers from Africa, Asia, South America, and the Pacific is, as Apollon Davidson points out in his Cecil Rhodes and His Times (Moscow: Progress Publishers, 1988), a great challenge for "historians, psychologists and ethnographers." There is also a fascination in fiction about seeing "ourselves as others see us," to use Robert Burns's phrase-a fascination that goes back in English literature at least as far asJonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726), and that continues through works such as A Bayardfirom Bengal, the adventures of "Baboo" in Britain (1902). If we may translate that fascination from fiction to nonfiction and put it in "postmodern" literary terms, this present book may be said to be an attempt to allow imperial "subalterns" to speak for themselves-portraying Western society as "other" rather than as "us." Second, this book may be seen as a contribution to the social and political history of late Victorian Britain.

Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies, vol. 13, nos. 1 & 2 (1999) The role of the Native Advisory Council in the Bechuanaland Protectorate, 1919-1960 Kenneth R. D. Manungo The Bechuanaland Protectorate lagged behind most British African colonies in the development of its government. In 1920 a Native (later "African") Advisory Council was established, representing mainly the chiefs. Key issues for the Council included raclla dlscrlmmatlOn m the Protectorate, agricultural improvement, and (above all) preventing the Protectorate's transfer to the Union of South Africa. Despite calls for constitutional development, it was not until 1960 that a Legislative Council for the Protectorate was established. Background on British rule in the Protectorate British rule in Africa has been the subject of discussion by many scholars who have written on the Colonial era in Africa. Apart from a few divergences most of these sources indicate that there is a general agreement on the nature of the British Administration in their colonial territories. I "Pax Britannica" had no clear cut policy for the administration of its colonies or protectorates. What is certain is that Britain needed colonies where she could obtain raw materials and also markets for her products without much cost to the exchequer. This resulted in a policy that was later to be called "Indirect Rule".

  • Italian: Repubblica Italiana),[7][8][9][10] Is a Unitary Parliamentary Republic Insouthern Europe
    Italy ( i/ˈɪtəli/; Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]), officially the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica italiana),[7][8][9][10] is a unitary parliamentary republic inSouthern Europe. Italy covers an area of 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and has a largely temperate climate; due to its shape, it is often referred to in Italy as lo Stivale (the Boot).[11][12] With 61 million inhabitants, it is the 5th most populous country in Europe. Italy is a very highly developed country[13]and has the third largest economy in the Eurozone and the eighth-largest in the world.[14] Since ancient times, Etruscan, Magna Graecia and other cultures have flourished in the territory of present-day Italy, being eventually absorbed byRome, that has for centuries remained the leading political and religious centre of Western civilisation, capital of the Roman Empire and Christianity. During the Dark Ages, the Italian Peninsula faced calamitous invasions by barbarian tribes, but beginning around the 11th century, numerous Italian city-states rose to great prosperity through shipping, commerce and banking (indeed, modern capitalism has its roots in Medieval Italy).[15] Especially duringThe Renaissance, Italian culture thrived, producing scholars, artists, and polymaths such as Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Michelangelo and Machiavelli. Italian explorers such as Polo, Columbus, Vespucci, and Verrazzano discovered new routes to the Far East and the New World, helping to usher in the European Age of Discovery. Nevertheless, Italy would remain fragmented into many warring states for the rest of the Middle Ages, subsequently falling prey to larger European powers such as France, Spain, and later Austria.

  • Italy's Atlanticism Between Foreign and Internal
    UNISCI Discussion Papers, Nº 25 (January / Enero 2011) ISSN 1696-2206 ITALY’S ATLANTICISM BETWEEN FOREIGN AND INTERNAL POLITICS Massimo de Leonardis 1 Catholic University of the Sacred Heart Abstract: In spite of being a defeated country in the Second World War, Italy was a founding member of the Atlantic Alliance, because the USA highly valued her strategic importance and wished to assure her political stability. After 1955, Italy tried to advocate the Alliance’s role in the Near East and in Mediterranean Africa. The Suez crisis offered Italy the opportunity to forge closer ties with Washington at the same time appearing progressive and friendly to the Arabs in the Mediterranean, where she tried to be a protagonist vis a vis the so called neo- Atlanticism. This link with Washington was also instrumental to neutralize General De Gaulle’s ambitions of an Anglo-French-American directorate. The main issues of Italy’s Atlantic policy in the first years of “centre-left” coalitions, between 1962 and 1968, were the removal of the Jupiter missiles from Italy as a result of the Cuban missile crisis, French policy towards NATO and the EEC, Multilateral [nuclear] Force [MLF] and the revision of the Alliance’ strategy from “massive retaliation” to “flexible response”. On all these issues the Italian government was consonant with the United States. After the period of the late Sixties and Seventies when political instability, terrorism and high inflation undermined the Italian role in international relations, the decision in 1979 to accept the Euromissiles was a landmark in the history of Italian participation to NATO.

  • Bakgomong: the Babirwa's Transboundarypastoralist Identity
    New Contree, No. 75, July 2016, Bakgomong Bakgomong: The Babirwa’s transboundary pastoralist identity and social change in late 19th century Botswana Phuthego Molosiwa Botswana College of Open and Distance Learning [email protected] Abstract To follow is a critical narrative on the intersection between identity production and transformations in the indigenous herding systems of the Babirwa of pre-colonial Botswana. The production of the Babirwa’s pastoralist identity rested on the adaptability of their cultural practices, language and social systems to socio-ecological influences. This emerging pastoralist identity was embedded in organic or loan words and concepts, which were continually reconstituted to negotiate social and environmental change. From the 1850s, the Babirwa of the eastern Botswana gradually transformed into cattle herders. The assimilation of cattle led to a symbolic shift in the Babirwa’s social identity from the Banareng (people of the buffalo) to theBakgomong (people of the cow). This shift was crucial in the production of a cattle-based identity in an area where crop production, hunting and the herding of caprines (goats and sheep) had been the primary ways of life since the first settlement of the Babirwa in the eastern Botswana a century earlier. Keywords: Bakgomong; Botswana; Babirwa; Cattle; Identity; Environment; Power; Cultural Encounters; Social change. Introduction Ee kgomo (yes cow)! goes the Babirwa’s acknowledgement of one another. The Babirwa praise each other as kgomo, referring to their totem, the nare (buffalo), which to them iskgomo ya naga, “a wild cow”.1 Since the Babirwa had knowledge that buffaloes were wild cattle, this praise phrase may have roots in their adoption of the buffalo totemic identity long before the mid- century while they lived in Nareng (place of buffalo) in the Transvaal.2 From the 1850s, the Babirwa, on the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe rivers 1 The language of the Babirwa is called Sebirwa.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) dr section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages, This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
