150 Chapter 1: the Peopling of Africa Chapter 2: Theories Notes CHAPTER 1: THE PEOPLING OF AFRICA 1. For a first-hand account of investigations in the area, including assessment of the work of the Leakey family, see Johanson and Shreeve (1991). 2. Key works include Gutmann (1925, 1926, cf. also 1966), Smith (1927), Tempels (1959), Westermann (1937, 1949), and Young (1937, 1940). Very little of Gutmann’s work has been translated, but for an assessment in English see Winter (1979). For an assesment of Young see Forster (1989). 3. For overall assessments of Senghor see Hyams (1971) and Markovitz (1969). 4. Key works are Fanon (1967, 1964). For a brief overall assessment see Caute (1970). 5. Nyerere’s own thoughts are to be found in Nyerere (1966a, esp. 1–22 and 162–71). For a recent assessment see Legum and Mmari (1995). 6. Kaunda (1976) presents his own exposition of humanism. For comments see Meebelo (1973) and Ranganathan (1986). CHAPTER 2: THEORIES OF RACE AND ETHNICITY 1. For more detail concerning the Hindu notion of caste, see Chapter 5. 2. Such is what happened in 1979, when Tanzania invaded Uganda. It is true that this was provoked by illegal annexation by the Ugandan army of a part of northern Tanzania: but Tanzanian troops did more than recapture the territory, and proceeded into Uganda to spearhead the overthrow of Amin. CHAPTER 3: RACISM, RACIALISM AND SEGREGATION IN THE AFRICAN CONTEXT 1. For discussion of the historical situation in South Africa see Wilson and Thompson (1969); and Worden (1994). 2. Continuities in Afrikaner history are discussed in Patterson (1957). 3. The term ‘Bantu’ was used in South Africa to refer to South African Blacks, but was disliked by them. The use of the term to describe a group of languages (to which most but not all of those spoken by Black South Africans belong) is legitimate. 150 Notes 151 CHAPTER 4: EUROPEANS IN EAST AFRICA 1. For detailed treatment see Coupland (1968) and Davidson (1970). 2. The pattern of settlement in East Africa is discussed in Brett (1973: 163–234); Bennet (1970); Crowder (1970); and Smith (1976). 3. In British usage, ‘public’ schools are in fact privately run elite institutions, generally operating on the boarding principle. 4. The pattern of administration in respect of both Europeans and African is discussed in Mair (1967: 28–34, for Britain, and 42–48 for Belgium). 5. Clubs in Tanganyika are discussed in Tanner (1966); for Uganda see Sofer and Ross (1951) and Sofer and Sofer (1955: 110–111). For a comparable situation in West Africa, see Proudfoot and Wilson (1961). POSTSCRIPT: FRENCH AND PORTUGUESE COLONIAL RULE 1. For a full discussion of the development of the Portuguese empire see Boxer (1969). CHAPTER 5: ASIANS IN EAST AFRICA 1. For an inventory of the contents of Indian-owned shops (in this case in Malawi) see Mitchell (1956: 215); and Dotson and Dotson (1968: 56–74). 2. For discussion of Indian culture in the African situation see Sofer and Sofer (1955: 92–8); Goldthorpe (1858: 117–28); Morris 1968; Dotson and Dotson (1968). POSTSCRIPT: DEVELOPMENTS IN RWANDA AND BURUNDI IN THE 1990S 1. Tensions which foreshadowed the end of feudalism are discussed in Levine (1966). CHAPTER 8: ETHNICITY AND TOURISM 1.

  • A History of the Swahili Coast
    A HISTORY OF THE SWAHILI COAST CURRICULUM AND CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES By Kenny Mann 2009 Kenny Mann P.O. Box 2789 Sag Harbor, NY 11963 631 725-2620 www.rafikiproductions.com ACTIVITY 1: DISCUSSION AND ESSAY HOW DO HISTORIANS ORGANIZE TIME AND INFORMATION? The nation-state as a unit of analysis has dominated the historical profession since the emergence of history as a professional discipline in the nineteenth century. Another traditional method is to look at “eras.” For example, the period 1492-1800 is organized into a framework called the "Age of Exploration.” European events and patterns are the focus, while earlier and later explorations by other civilizations are ignored. DISCUSS: WHAT OTHER EXPLORATIONS COULD BE CONSIDERED? The early Pacific voyages of the Polynesians; the movement of Malay sailors around the Indian Ocean; the Chinese visits to East Africa; undersea and space exploration; Egyptians’ journey around Africa Societies are as diverse in their interpretation of the nature of time as they are in their belief systems and histories. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, there is an emphasis on linear, progressive time that will result in the coming of the Messiah. Other cultures view time cyclically. DISCUSS: ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF VIEWING (EAST AFRICAN) HISTORY AND TIME THEMES Civilizations – political and economic organization War – conflict and control of areas and resources Trade – systems, transportation, requirements Migration – people, animals, goods Disease – appearance, treatment, science, belief Environment – use and abuse Systems – belief systems, financial systems, family arrangements, land ownership Area studies – regional, not country or state - geographical Sea and ocean basins – resources ESSAY: EXAMINE YOUR FAMILY’S HISTORY FROM A SPECIFIC THEMATIC ASPECT.

  • The Student Will Describe the Diverse Cultures of the People Who Live in Africa
    <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> SS7G4 The student will describe the diverse cultures of the people who live in Africa. a. Explain the differences between an ethnic group and a religions group. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 1 An ethnic group is a group of people who share cultural ideas and beliefs that have been a part of their community for generations. The above photos are of the Masai, a tribe in Kenya. This ethnic group is well-known for being a warrior tribe. 2 The characteristics they have in common could include language, religion, a shared history, types of food, and a set of traditional stories, beliefs, or celebrations. Meat is reserved only for very special occasions like feasts and celebrations when the Masai cash in their precious capital and kill a bull. Only the murran, shown here preparing for the occasion, are allowed to witness the slaughter which3 is carried out with skill and respect for the animal. A religious group shares a belief system in a god or gods, with a specific set of rituals and literature like the Bible or the Quran. People from different ethnic groups may share the same religion, though they may be from very different cultures. Above are photos of different Christian worship services. 4 ***************************** SS7G4 The student will describe the diverse cultures of the people who live in Africa. b. Explain the diversity of religions within the Arab, Ashanti, Bantu, and Swahili ethnic groups. **************************** 5 Arab Arab people began to spread into North Africa in the late 600’s AD, when the first Muslim armies arrived in Egypt. From there, Arab armies, traders, and scholars spread across northern Africa all the way to Morocco.
