  • Making It up As We Go Along? Using Unreliable Sources for Fun and Profit in the Social History of Africa
    Making it up as we go along? Using unreliable sources for fun and profit in the social history of Africa. Diana Jeater, History School, UWE, St Matthias Campus, BRISTOL, BS16 2JP, UK. [email protected]. Writing 'history from below' always presents difficulties in finding and interpreting the voices of people who have been excluded from the writing classes. We hear the voices of 'moral economy' rioters in eighteenth century England through the words of their local magistrate; we hear the voices of popular witchcraft accusation in early modern Europe through the depositions of the inquisitor. Studying the social history of southern Africa during the early stages of white occupation presents particular problems, because African societies did not use writing, and did not use European languages. The written archival records are therefore two removes from the people we wish to study: Africans' lives have been recorded by people outside their culture, and using a language which was not designed to reflect or encompass their culture. This is why I consider these sources to be 'unreliable'. They may appear as empirical evidence about African social formations, but I suspect that often they are not - not if they are read as they stand. Whites knew very little about Africans, partly because they asked the wrong questions and partly because they didn't ask many questions at all. What they did know, they often misunderstood. My starting-point, then, is that you can't trust anything you read in the Archives - which is a bit of problem if you want to be a historian.

  • The Inuit Angakok (Shaman) in Children's Literature
    SPIRITS IN THE SNOWHOUSE: THE INUIT ANGAKOK (SHAMAN) IN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE JON C. STOTT, Professor of English, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6G 2E8. ABSTRACT/RESUME A number of children's books have been written using Inuit themes, and par- ticularly themes involving the angakok, or shaman. The author reviews three of these in an examination of the possibilities of non-Inuit writers adequately communicating Inuit concepts. He concludes that Western literary traditions may preclude any proper presentation of another culture. Un bon nombre de livres d'enfants a été écrit sur les Inuits et particulièrement sur des thèmes qui touchent angakok ou shaman. L'auteur en revoit trois de ces derniers dans une examination de possibilité de non-lnuit écrivain adequat à communiquer les concepts Inuit. Il conclut que la littérature traditionnelle de l'ouest, est l'introduction de n'importe queue présentation d'une autre culture. THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NATIVE STUDIES V, 2(1985): 193-200. 194 JON C. STOTT The angakok, or shaman, was the central figure of the spiritual life of the traditional Inuit. A central figure in many major ceremonies, he foretold weather patterns and movements of game animals, cured illness, retrieved lost or stolen souls, and travelled to the moon and to the b o t t o m of the sea, conversing there with major spiritual beings. An unusual birth, childhood illness, or psychic disorder often signalled his possession of shamanic powers, and a long, arduous training was generally necessary before he came into full control of these powers. Physical ordeals, animal attacks, periods of solitary meditation, and apprenticeship to an older shaman were among the elements of his quest for his vocation.

Gregson Davis ___________________________ Nathaniel Mackey An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English in the Graduate School of Duke University 2017 Copyright by Marina Sofia Magloire 2017 Abstract This dissertation uses the revolutionary potential of Caribbean religion to theorize black feminism between the two World Wars. It argues that women artists and performers across the diaspora produced both ethnographic and artistic representations of Haitian Vodou (and its sister religions) in order to formulate a radical and pan-African feminism. Unlike accounts of the savagery and hedonism of a sensationalized “voodoo” perpetuated by white male travelers to Haiti, black women’s narratives of Vodou focused specifically on its status as a theology of resistance. By re-animating apolitical narratives of “voodoo” with their original spiritual provenance in Vodou, women of color laid claim to the political force of the religion behind the largest successful slave revolt in the Western hemisphere.
