  • Sandra Thomson - Norman Durban Paper Page 1
    Sandra Thomson - Norman Durban paper Page 1 Were there large states in Southeast Africa before the rise of the Zulu Kingdom? In a rare coincidence of popular and scholarly enthusiasm, historians of Africa have paid even more attention to the Zulu state than the hiphop gangs of Chicago and the Bronx. Texts of the colonial era took Shaka and his kingdom as the paradigm of savage despotism. After decolonization, historians in tune with African nationalism reversed the image, promoting Shaka as a creative statesman who proved that Africa’s nation-building capacities owed nothing to European stimulus or example. Even after the gloss had begun to wear off the image of post-independence African leadership, historians studied the Zulu in the hope of learning how large states were constructed and sustained. “The rise of the Zulu state” became a staple of undergraduate teaching and graduate research.1 Distrustful of explanations based on individual genius, scholars looked for environmental, economic, demographic and social forces that might explain the emergence of Shaka’s kingdom along with other less famous states in the same region. The search continues into the twenty-first century.2 Over fifty years of research one assumption has gone unquestioned: the Zulu kingdom was not just a new state, it was a new kind of state – one of several that arose about the same time, some of the most prominent being the Swazi, the Ndwandwe, the Gasa, and the Ndebele. This article challenges that assumption, arguing that there is little if any evidence to support it. On the contrary, there are good reasons to suspect that states similar in structure predated those kingdoms.

  • A Future of Island Studies
    Island Studies Journal, Vol. 12, No. 1, 2017, 3-16 EDITORIAL A future of island studies Adam Grydehøj Ilisimatusarfik/University of Greenland, Nuuk, Greenland Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown, Canada Island Dynamics, Copenhagen, Denmark [email protected] ABSTRACT: Island studies has developed into an established, interdisciplinary research field. It is important that island studies not only continue deepening its internal theoretical understandings but also reach out to other fields and regions that have received limited attention within island studies. It is also necessary for island studies to grapple with a number of problematic tendencies within the field and the wider scholarship, including by challenging the misuse of island spatiality to produce idealised visions of islands (for example in island sustainability research). Similarly, it is important to pursue a decolonial island studies that rethinks the ways in which island development research can end up marginalising Indigenous voices at the same time as it seeks to understand islands ‘on their own terms’. Keywords: decolonial, interdisciplinary research, island development, island studies, sustainability https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.1 © 2017 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Island studies, many say, is an emerging field. We live in an age that valorises dynamism and change, so it flatters our sensibilities to participate in a scholarly project that is not fixed, fusty, or static. If island studies is emerging, then we who contribute to it are at the vanguard, engaging in a new way of doing research. But this mantra of ‘emergence’, ‘burgeoning’, ‘growth’, ‘institutionalisation’ is also an apology―repeated across a range of important literature reviews and theoretical texts (e.g., Baldacchino, 2004; Baldacchino, 2006; Shima Editorial Board, 2007; Fletcher, 2011; Brinklow, 2011; Mountz, 2015; Swaminathan, 2015; Pugh, 2016b; Rankin, 2016).

  • Section 7. European Powers and Tonga's Independence
    SECTION 7. EUROPEAN POWERS AND TONGA'S INDEPENDENCE. The latter half of the 19th Century was a period of Colonial expansion by European powers. Britain, France, and Germany in particular came into conflict as they carved out for themselves colonies in Africa and Asia. Terms like 'the scramble for Africa', and 'spheres of influencer in China, became part of the language during that period. The Pacific was not free from this colonial movement and the closing years of the 19th century saw the pacific aspect of colonial expansion and imperial rivalry. Colonial expansion had very drastic effects upon the very existence of a number of Pacific nations, Fiji was annexed by Britain in 1874. Germany annexed large portions of New Guinea and New Britain in the 1880's. France took New Caledonia and portions of the New Hebrides. Samoa eventually passed into the hands of Germany. Divided government, or no government at all according to European standards, seemed to be the excuse for intervention. Tonga however was different in this respect from most of the other Island Kingdoms in that an orderly form of government had been established quite early. Tonga's first Code of Laws, the Code of Vava'u, appeared in 1839 and a second code followed in 1850 for the whole of the country. By 1862 a third code had been promulgated, which also provided for the liberation of the serfs. The year 1875, several years before colonial expansion really reached its peak, saw the handing down by King Goorge Tupou I, of a complete Constitution. Basil Thomson may scoff at the amateur law making of the missionaries, but it must be conceded that by 1875 Tonga had effective codes of Law, a constitutional Monarch, and a free and united people.
