In a sense, Angola has never recovered from the extensive and brutal slave trade that unfolded after Diogo Cãothe first European explorer to visit the areaentered the mouth of the Congo River in 1483. Violent Portuguese slavers undermined the Kongo kingdoms that had ruled there, and near the end of the 16th century, the Portuguese overtook local authorities by force and established an abusive military government dedicated to facilitating the capture and export of slaves. Some 4 million people would be removed from this region and shipped to Brazil and the Caribbean before Portugal finally outlawed slavery in 1836. Moving into the colonial mode of the dayforced laborthe Portuguese then pressed further inland. Their efforts to subdue and subjugate peoples in the interior led to a century of fighting, as Angolans continued to resist. After 1930, the New State allowed Angolans to "assimilate" into the conquering Portuguese cultural milieu. A period of relative prosperity and industrial progress followed, but growing nationalist sentiments led to the formation of many political parties, which ultimately came together as the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) and the Bakongo-dominated National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA). These forces argued policy and philosophy and failed to unite against the Portuguese government throughout the 1960s. Later on, international powers such as the U.S. and China backed a third force, UNITA, led by Jonas Savimbi.

Indigenous Peoples of the Congo Home There was no history known about Zaire until the late 1400s when the first Europeans arrived. In Zaire, there languages are still spoken today are Kikongo, Tshiluba, Lingala, and Kiswahili. Long before the Europeans arrived in Africa, the indigenous peoples of Africa had already set up long distance trades and advanced iron working. The two largest groups of people were the Kongo and the Luba who occupied the southern savannah area. In the past, the Kongo was in the middle of international struggles. The Kongo Kingdom was the first area in Africa to come into contact with Europeans, specifically the Portuguese. The Kongo had a trading system with the Portuguese. In the 1490s, the king of the Kongo asked the Portuguese for missionaries for valuable items such as ivory, copper and, unfortunately, slaves. By the late 1600s, the slave trade had taken 15,000 slaves a year. This provoked violence between small groups of people. In later years by the Kongo’s independence, peace was successfully established and slave trade with other countries ceased to exist. Generally, most indigenous people in what is now known as Zaire did not believe in fate or accidents. They mainly believed that there is a logical reason for everything and accidents and coincidences are not real.

Catalog Overview Giving Shape to World History The Iberian voyages of the late 15th and early 16th centuries linked not only Europe with the Americas but laid down a communications net that ultimately joined every region of the world with every other region. As the era progressed ships became safer, bigger, and faster, and the volume of world commerce soared. The web of overland roads and trails expanded as well to carry goods and people in and out of the interior regions of Eurasia, Africa, and the American continents. The demographic, social, and cultural consequences of this great global link-up were immense. The deep transformations that occurred in the world during this era may be set in the context of three overarching patterns of change.

Major Research Interests
I am a general practitioner in cultural anthropology, with an ethnographic focus on Africa and with some past research in northern Asia. More specifically, my interests, research, and publications deal with social structure, political organization, and religion - and the process of transformation in them. I have also worked and published on slavery as a general cultural phenomenon, with a special interest in indigenous slavery in Africa as a culture-historical phenomenon. I have done fieldwork in the Congo, Cameroon, and the Ivory Coast.

AN ABSTRACT HISTORY OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN Introduction The following abstract is based on the book, "Africa: A Biography of the Continent" by John Reader (1998). Mr. Reader was born in London in 1937. He lived and traveled in Africa for many years. Students are encouraged to read Mr. Reader's book. In the meantime, the following abstract highlights some of the most important trends and events detailed in his workevents that occurred in Africa from the geological birth of the continent almost 3 billion years ago to the mid-1990's. The student is directed to review the Definitions Companion and Questions Supplement accompanying this Abstract, which should make reading easier. The Abstract The Land topography of the African continent is wide ranging. North Africa is dry and arid and dominated by deserts. Central and southern Africa is a combination of jungle, mountains and wide-open ranges called savanna profound affect on African history. The Cradle of Life Recent research has shown Africa to be the cradle of life, providing the environment in which modern humans evolved. This development was closely associated with the changing environmental and climatic forces that, in turn, affected the food supply and the competition for survival.

A Collector's Odyssey Across Seven Continents: the Americas

Overview
A pioneering work, The Americas brings together the history, politics, and sociology of the peoples of the Western Hemisphere as reflected in ethnic chess sets. Prize-winning sculptors created some of the 94 sets illustrated and described; some were carved by unknown artists. The art represents the cultures of 18 countries and 15 islands in the Americas. This book provides the first written record of ethnic sets from this part of the world. Anasazi, Aztec, Carib, Chamorro, Cherokee, Choc=, Diaguita, Garifuna, Hopi, Inuit, Lacand=n, Maya, Polynesian, Quechua, Sioux, Taino, and Tarascan; Amish, Mormon, and Rastafarian; black, white, creole, and mestizo: this is a partial list of the ethnic, religious, and racial groups represented. The Americas also chronicles the author's travels and experiences: risking ambush by gun-toting drug runners in Panama's dense Darien jungle to meet Chocó Indians; following Shackleton's wake in hostile Antarctic waters to visit South Georgia; taking the wheel of a flat-bottomed boat to guide it through a hurricane-whipped Caribbean Sea.

Return to syllabus African Civilizations Africa south of the Sahara Africans south of the Sahara lived largely in nomadic, hunter-gatherer groups up until 200 BC. As a result, African populations were very sparse. There are several speculations as to why sub-Saharan Africans remained in hunting-gathering groups, but they are all guess-work. Perhaps the most reasonable explanations involve the abundance of resources and the protection that their isolation gave them from invasion and migration pressures. Still, early sub-Saharan Africans developed metallurgy at a very early stage, possibly even before other peoples. Around 1400 BC, East Africans began producing steel in carbon furnaces (steel was invented in the west in the eighteenth century). The Iron Age itself came very early to Africa, probably around the sixth century BC, in Ethiopia, the Great Lakes region, Tanzania, and Nigeria. Iron technology, however, only spread slowly across Africa; it wasn't until the first century AD that the smelting of iron began to rapidly diffuse throughout the continent. The instrument of that spread was the Bantu migrations Urban settlement began at a very early date in Africa. The earliest urban settlements were stone-walled towns in southern Mauritania that date back to sometime in the second millennium BC. An explosion of urban settlement in the Sahel region immediately south of the Sahara began between 600 and 200 BC. The Sahel is a hot, dry savanna that can support human agriculture and settlement. The first urban settlements were Sahelian: Jenne, Gao, and Kumbi (later Kumbi Saleh, the capital of the kingdom of Ghana). All of these urban centers grew up in oasis and river regions which could support such large populations.

  • We should constantly remind ourselves that our understanding of Africa is conditioned by the fact that Europe conquered and dominated the continent to an unparalleled extent. The knowledge that most Americans have of Africa is immediately filtered through:
    • Slavery , and its aftermath, the protracted social and economic privation of a large and easily recognizable group The trivialization of African society and culture in literature, films, the media, and other popular culture outlets
    CULTURE AND OUR OWN JUDGMENTS What is culture?
    • "High" vs. "low" conceptualizations of culturewhat do these terms signify? Really mean? The complex influences that African culture had on American and European cultures The use of technology (and the attainment of a level of technology , particularly in warfare) as a standard for judging the relative merits of African culture (apples vs. oranges?)

AFRICA
Ch. 6, Kevin Ward. Use the map on p. 576. Christianity is ancient in Africa This vibrant southern half of the cradle of western civilization is separated from the rest of the African continent by the great Saharan Desert. Through Egypt flows the Nile and along its fertile banks, Coptic (Egyptian) Christian monks traveled south, establishing monasteries as they went. Thus Christianity reached Nubia which became a Christian country only to be challenged by Islam. Nubia remained under the rule of Christian Kings until 1323. But by 1500, Islam had triumphed completely in Nubia. Islam and Ethiopia remained on good terms due to a story of Ethiopian hospitality extended to Mohammad's companions just prior to the Hadj. A more warlike Muslim general ignored this peace, invading and destroying Ethiopian Churches. An interlude of Catholic contact followed through a Spanish Jesuit (a good guy) who was followed by a Portuguese Jesuit (a bad guy). As you read about the heroism of the first Jesuit and the high-handed behavior of the second, you should know that rebaptism, reordination, reconsacration of churches, especially the repetition of the sacraments, was not only arrogant, but heretical. In any case, the Ethiopians tended to withdraw into themselves after unhappy encounters with both Muslims and Catholics, and to continue their form of Christianity that retains more of the Jewish influence than any other body of Christians. Ethiopian Christianity has other distinguishing marks that I leave you to collect from p. 200.
