KEYWORDS: Kyrgyz, Kipchak, tribe, khan, governor, mirshab, Kokand, channel, feudal, valley. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCUSSION In the first half of the XIX century, the Kokand khanate was the largest region in Central Asia. The Kokand khanate was bordered by East Turkestan in the east, the Bukhara Emirate and the Khiva Khanate in the west. The territory of the khanate in the north was completely subjugated by three Kazakh juzes and bordered by Russia. The southern borders of the khanate included mountainous areas such as Karategin, Kulob, Darvaz, Shogunan. For these regions, there will be bloody wars with the Emirate of Bukhara, which passed from hand to hand. The territory of the Kokand khanate, in contrast to the Bukhara emirate and the Khiva khanate had many wetlands, valleys and fertile lands. The center of the khanate was the Fergana Valley, where such large cities as Kokand, Margilan, Uzgen, Andizhan, and Namangan were located. Large cities such as Tashkent, Shymkent, Turkestan, Avliyota, Pishtak, Oqmasjid were also under the rule of Kokand khanate. The population of the Kokand khanate is relatively dense, about 3 million.

FREE, HATEFUL, AND POSTED: RETHINKING FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTION OF HATE SPEECH IN A SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD Abstract: Speech is meant to be heard, and social media allows for exaggeration of that fact by providing a powerful means of dissemination of speech while also dis- torting one’s perception of the reach and acceptance of that speech. Engagement in online “hate speech” can interact with the unique characteristics of the Internet to influence users’ psychological processing in ways that promote violence and rein- force hateful sentiments. Because hate speech does not squarely fall within any of the categories excluded from First Amendment protection, the United States’ stance on hate speech is unique in that it protects it.

  • Possible Antecedents and Implications to African-Australians Participating in the Proposed Pilot Program of Settlement in Rural
    ‘African Renewal, African Renaissance’: New Perspectives on Africa’s Past and Africa’s Present. The African Studies Association of Australia and the Pacific (AFSAAP) Annual Conference 26-28 November 2004, University of Western Australia Possible Antecedents and Implications to African-Australians Participating in the Proposed Pilot Program of Settlement in Rural Victoria: A Study of Strategic Management of Service Delivery to an Emerging Community in Rural Areas: A Critical Review Dr. Apollo Nsubuga-Kyobe, La Trobe University Introduction and the Basis of the Study This paper has been influenced by both the work we did on African Communities and Settlement Services Delivery in Victoria, and my participation in a number of consultations. These have included: migration and humanitarian programs and the associated settlement issues principally on behalf of African-Australians, the majority are refugees and humanitarian entrants. Also, I have been involved with the Integrated Humanitarian Settlement Strategy, Population Debate, Reviewing the Review of Settlement Services, Economic Contribution of Victoria’s Culturally Diverse Population, Regional Settlement in Rural Victoria, the Victoria Racial Verification Act, Multicultural Victoria Act and How to deal with gambling and substance abuse mainly among youth. Given the foregoing, this paper assesses a number of fundamental issues connected with newly arrived Refugee and Humanitarian entrants, mainly those from Sub-Sahara Africa. It seeks to identify the issues likely to be confronted when settling in Victorian locations such as: Shepparton, Swan-Hill, Warrnambool, Mildura or Colac, to name a few of the nine proposed places. The paper also questions whether secondary settlement of the African Refugees and Humanitarian entrants would be an alternative and a strategic option to picking these new settlers straight from refugee camps overseas.

  • 1 African Transnational Diasporas: Theoretical Perspectives 2 Vintages and Patterns of Migration
    Notes 1 African Transnational Diasporas: Theoretical Perspectives 1. In 1965 George Shepperson (1993), drawing parallels with the Jewish dias- pora, coined the term ‘African diaspora’. The term was also closely associ- ated with social and political struggles for independence in Africa and the Caribbean. For detailed examination on the origins of the term African dias- pora, see Manning (2003) and Zeleza (2010). 2. The Lebanese in West Africa, Indian Muslims in South Africa and the Hausa in West Africa and Sudan are some of the examples of African diasporas within the continent (Bakewell, 2008). 3. See, for example, Koser’s (2003) edited volume, New African Diasporas and Okpewho and Nzegwu’s (2009) edited volume, The New African Diaspora. Both books provide a wide range of case studies of contemporary African diasporas. 4. This taxonomy has been adapted and developed from my examination of Zimbabwean transnational diaspora politics (see Pasura, 2010b). 2 Vintages and Patterns of Migration 1. Ethnic differences between ZANU and ZAPU caused the war of liberation to be fought on two fronts until the formation of the Patriotic Front, a unified alliance. ZAPU continued to advocate for multi-ethnic mobilization; historians have sought to explain the growing regional/ethnic allegiance partly in terms of the role of the two liberation armies, as old ZAPU committees existed in the Midlands and Manicaland but the areas became ZANU after having received Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA) freedom fighters. 2. The subtitle comes from the BBC’s (2005) article entitled: ‘So where are Zimbabweans going?’ 3. See the case of Mutumwa Mawere, who recently won his case against the state with regard to dual citizenship (Gonda, 2013).

  • 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.
