  • The Question of 'Race' in the Pre-Colonial Southern Sahara
    The Question of ‘Race’ in the Pre-colonial Southern Sahara BRUCE S. HALL One of the principle issues that divide people in the southern margins of the Sahara Desert is the issue of ‘race.’ Each of the countries that share this region, from Mauritania to Sudan, has experienced civil violence with racial overtones since achieving independence from colonial rule in the 1950s and 1960s. Today’s crisis in Western Sudan is only the latest example. However, very little academic attention has been paid to the issue of ‘race’ in the region, in large part because southern Saharan racial discourses do not correspond directly to the idea of ‘race’ in the West. For the outsider, local racial distinctions are often difficult to discern because somatic difference is not the only, and certainly not the most important, basis for racial identities. In this article, I focus on the development of pre-colonial ideas about ‘race’ in the Hodh, Azawad, and Niger Bend, which today are in Northern Mali and Western Mauritania. The article examines the evolving relationship between North and West Africans along this Sahelian borderland using the writings of Arab travellers, local chroniclers, as well as several specific documents that address the issue of the legitimacy of enslavement of different West African groups. Using primarily the Arabic writings of the Kunta, a politically ascendant Arab group in the area, the paper explores the extent to which discourses of ‘race’ served growing nomadic power. My argument is that during the nineteenth century, honorable lineages and genealogies came to play an increasingly important role as ideological buttresses to struggles for power amongst nomadic groups and in legitimising domination over sedentary communities.

  • Library Year in Review 2018 -·
    University of Tasmania Library Year in Review 2018 -· . .. .... .. --- ..- ,,/ ';t{ Library year in review 2018 I am pleased to present an overview of the Library’s contribution towards the achievement of the University’s goals in learning, teaching and research. Staff have been the key to our success, and I thank them for their leadership and contribution. Janette Burke, University Librarian Highlights: • The Law Library was flooded in May, with the loss of over 4,000 books and the Law Library and Faculty of Law spaces extensively damaged. Library staff worked in collaboration with student and staff volunteers, Infrastructure Services, Information Technology Services (ITS) and the Faculty to ensure Law students and staff were able to access temporary study spaces and collections. The Library negotiated with publishers to provide interim access to electronic resources where possible to mitigate loss of access to over 26,000 print items that were temporarily moved to offsite store. Temporary study spaces were found for Postgraduates in the Morris Miller Library. In collaboration with staff from the Law Faculty, Library, Uconnect and student representatives, meetings were established to plan for the refurbishment of the Law Library and to replace significant print collections. • A new University Librarian, Janette Burke was appointed and started on 28th May. Janette was interim University Librarian at Monash University and was previously Director at Monash University Library, responsible for information resources, including collections, international partnerships, and systems. Janette has worked at Federation University, University of Wollongong, Central Queensland University and South Australia TAFE in various roles. • The Library was funded for the move and storage of 120,000 items from the Wilmot Store and the merger of the Music and Art Libraries in 2019.

  • CA Students Urge Assembly Members to Pass AB
    May 26, 2021 The Honorable Members of the California State Assembly State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Thousands of CA Public School Students Strongly Urge Support for AB 101 Dear Members of the Assembly, We are a coalition of California high school and college students known as Teach Our History California. Made up of the youth organizations Diversify Our Narrative and GENup, we represent 10,000 youth leaders from across the State fighting for change. Our mission is to ensure that students across California high schools have meaningful opportunities to engage with the vast, diverse, and rich histories of people of color; and thus, we are in deep support of AB101 which will require high schools to provide ethnic studies starting in academic year 2025-26 and students to take at least one semester of an A-G approved ethnic studies course to graduate starting in 2029-30. Our original petition made in support of AB331, linked here, was signed by over 26,000 CA students and adult allies in support of passing Ethnic Studies. Please see appended to this letter our letter in support of AB331, which lists the names of all our original petition supporters. We know AB101 has the capacity to have an immense positive impact on student education, but also on student lives as a whole. For many students, our communities continue to be systematically excluded from narratives presented to us in our classrooms. By passing AB101, we can change the precedent of exclusion and allow millions of students to learn the histories of their peoples.

  • “The Year According to the Reckoning of the Believers”: Papyrus Louvre Inv. J. David- Weill 20 and the Origins of the Hijrī
    Der Islam 2018; 95 (2): 291–311 Mehdy Shaddel* “The Year According to the Reckoning of the Believers”: Papyrus Louvre inv. J. David- Weill 20 and the Origins of the hijrī Era https://doi.org/10.1515/islam-2018-0025 Abstract: The present paper addresses itself to the enigmatic phrase snh qaḍāʾ al-muʾminīn that appears in a papyrus sheet from early Muslim Egypt. It takes issue with the earlier interpretations of the phrase, arguing that it is indeed a dating formula that is probably to be read as sanat qaḍāʾ al-muʾminīn, and under- stood as “the year according to the reckoning of the believers”. Based on the tes- timony of this phrase, it is further argued that the epoch of the Muslim calendar was, in all likelihood, originally meant to count the years from Muḥammad’s foundation of a new community and polity at Medina, a momentous event that the early Muslims conceived of as the dawn of a new age. Keywords: Arabic papyri; Muslim calendar; jurisdiction of the believers; reckon- ing of the believers; hijra; chronology On 24 October, 1793, the Convention Nationale of the fledging First French Repub- lic voted to adopt a new calendar. Thenceforth, the Convention decreed, all offi- cial documents and correspondence had to be dated from the establishment of the republic on 22 September, 1792, using the formula “l’an de la république française”, thereby consigning, as it seemed at the time, the Gregorian calendar to the dustbin of history. An earlier reckoning system that counted the years from the revolution of 1789 employed the formula “l’an de la liberté”.
