  • Independence, Intervention, and Internationalism Angola and the International System, 1974–1975
    Independence, Intervention, and Internationalism Angola and the International System, 1974–1975 ✣ Candace Sobers Mention the Cold War and thoughts instinctively turn to Moscow, Washing- ton, DC, and Beijing. Fewer scholars examine the significant Cold War strug- gles that took place in the African cities of Luanda, Kinshasa, and Pretoria. Yet in 1975 a protracted war of national liberation on the African continent escalated sharply into a major international crisis. Swept up in the momen- tum of the Cold War, the fate of the former Portuguese colony of Angola captured the attention of policymakers from the United States to Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), Colombia to Luxembourg. The struggle over Angolan independence from Portugal was many things: the culmination of sixteen years of intense anti-colonial struggle and the launch of 28 years of civil war, a threat to white minority rule in southern Africa, and another battle on the long road to ending empire and colonialism. It was also a strug- gle to define and create a viable postcolonial state and to carry out a radical transformation of the sociopolitical structure of Angolan society. Recent scholarship on Angolan independence has provided an impres- sive chronology of the complicated saga yet has less to say about the wider consequences and ramifications of a crisis that, though located in southern Africa, was international in scope. During the anti-colonial struggle, U.S. sup- port reinforced the Portuguese metropole, contiguous African states harbored competing revolutionaries, and great and medium powers—including Cuba, China, and South Africa—provided weapons, combat troops, and mercenar- ies to the three main national liberation movements.

  • Digitization Initiatives and Strategies: a Reconnaissance Of
    DIGITIZATION INITIATIVES: A RECONNAISSANCE OF THE GLOBAL LANDSCAPE. Marinus Swanepoel University of Lethbridge, Canada. [email protected] Abstract Digitization has become quite a buzzword around libraries and library organizations. Conferences, symposia and workshops on digitization are becoming more popular and many general conferences feature a technology or digitization track. A factor contributing to the popularity of digitization is that the technology required for basic digitization is very affordable. It is therefore not uncommon to find an under funded enthusiast doing excellent work, making content available through a free hosting service on the Internet and using only a simple digital camera and/or scanner, bought for a couple of hundred dollars. The proliferation of local digitization initiatives great and small is noticeable, however, sometimes they are brought together to be presented to the internet user as a part of bigger initiatives. There are also the mega projects such as Google Book Search and the Open Content Alliance. When these examples (small localized projects and mega-projects) are viewed as the extremes on a continuum, there are a wide variety of initiatives, varying in scope, which can be found in-between. Questions this paper attempts to answer are: What does the global digitization landscape look like? How well represented are the countries with developing economies? What is being done in non- Roman alphabet languages? The initiatives are generally dealt with in a superficial way; the paper is meant to provide an overview in breadth rather than depth. Keywords: digitization digital library 1. INTRODUCTION Digitization has become quite a buzzword around libraries and library organizations.

Digitisation, history, and the making of a postcolonial archive of Southern African liberation struggles: The Aluka providedproject. by University of the Western Cape Research Repository AFRICA TODAY, 52 (2): 55-77 Digitization, History, and the Making of a Postcolonial Archive of Southern African Liberation Struggles: The Aluka Project1 Allen Isaacman, Premesh Lalu, and Thomas Nygren This paper describes the history of an initiative to digitize a postcolonial archive on the struggle for freedom in Southern Africa. The authors outline the intellectual architecture of the project and the complex epistemological, political, and technical challenges that they confronted in their endeavor to construct a digital archive that might help reorient scholarly debates on the struggle for liberation. Introduction The liberation of southern Africa was a major political event of the twentieth century. The demise of colonial rule, the end of white-settler domination, and the dismantling of the apartheid regime had far-reaching consequences, not only for the continent, but also for the global community. At a local level, majority rule created the possibility that millions of people would be free from racial oppression, economic exploitation, and political exclusion. For them, independence carried the hope of social justice and a better life for future generations. Nationally, it meant a radical restructuring of political power. It removed the state bureaucracies and police apparatus that had enforced white privilege and racial segregation. The process took more than thirty years. At a regional level, the revolutions in Angola and Mozambique, followed by those in Zimbabwe and Namibia, defeated Pretoria's military and political strategy of sustaining white regimes as a buffer against black Africa and isolating movements such as the African National Congress (ANC).

  • Spatial Documentation of the Petra World Heritage Site
    SPATIAL DOCUMENTATION OF THE PETRA WORLD HERITAGE SITE Heinz Ruther1, Roshan Bhurtha2, Ralph Schroeder3, Stephen Wessels4 1Geomatics Division, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa, [email protected] 2Geomatics Division, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa 3Geomatics Division, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa 4Geomatics Division, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa Abstract This paper describes the spatial documentation of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Petra Archaeological Park (PAP), Jordan, as commissioned by UNESCO and executed by the Zamani research team at the University of Cape Town. The project reported in this paper is a holistic approach, both in the variety of spatial technologies as well as the near complete cover of the major monuments and the landscape, including the natural access canyon to Petra, known as the Siq. The documentation was realised with laser scans, 360 degree panoramic images, photogrammetry and RTK-GPS. The vast majority of the acquired data was incorporated into a Geographic Information System (GIS). A substantial portion of the 3D models are also integrated into a largely completed 3D Virtual Tour of the site that will be used for scientific and touristic purposes (Wessels et al, 2014). The documentation was a component of the “Siq Stability – Sustainable Monitoring Techniques for Assessing Instability of Slopes in the Siq of Petra” project for the long-term monitoring of potentially unstable rock slopes in the Siq. The 3D laser scan model of the 1.2 km long canyon project was employed as an analysis and management tool for the monitoring initiative.
