Excerpt: ... the severity of the past winter in Europe, the native labourers in this contingent had been singularly free from pneumonia. Cerebrospinal Meningitis has broken out in the camp of Spotted Fever the German native prisoners of war. in Nyasaland. There have been some severe cases and several deaths. The effect of an epidemic would be serious, as the mortality from this disease among natives is usually high. A circular has therefore been sent round to employers of labour in the Zomba district notifying them of the outbreak and requesting them to take every precaution. Should any suspicious case of illness occur the nearest medical officer is to be advised. A meeting was recently held in Khartum, at which it was A Scientific Journal decided "that a scientific journal be started for the Sudan. dealing with Sudan Anthropology, Languages, Geography, Natural History, and other sciences." General Stack, the Acting Governor-General of the Sudan presided over the meeting: the journal, which will be published quarterly, is to be known as the "Sudan Notes and Records" and will be edited by Mr. J. W. Crawford, Director of Education. CORRESPONDENCE Sir, I notice that the Rev. W. A. Crabtree, in the interesting articles in which he reviews Eric von Rosen's interesting work on the Bangweulu tribes, says "the pulling up of lily roots for food is probably unique." It is not clear whether this refers to the use of the roots or the method of getting them up--if the former, I should like to point out that the roots of the water-lily (yungwi, pi. mayungwi, in Swahili--junji, pi. tnajunji in Pokomo) are a common article of food among the Wapokomo and Wasanye of British East Africa. The water-lilies, however, both blue and white, are usually found in that...

This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Giriama of Kenya's coastal hinterland persistently resisted colonialism, and they were unreceptive both to Christianity and to Islam. In 1912 the British colonial authorities earmarked the Giriama as a key source of labor for the plantations Europeans were trying to develop along the coast. The Giriama, prosperous producers and traders, could not become wage laborers and maintain their successful economy, and the British demands upon this scattered people therefore were spontaneously rejected. Increased pressure increased Giriama recalcitrance. Finally, military action brought defeat to the Giriama, whose only weapons were bows and arrows and whose decentralization prevented coordinated resistance. They lost their best lands, paid a heavy fine, and had to contribute a thousand laborers to the Carrier Corps. But the British costs were also heavy. The coastal plantations failed, few Giriama ever became wage laborers, and the entire area became depressed economically. Cynthia Brantley explores the precolonial Giriama's political and economic system and their dynamic trade relationship with the coast of Kenya in an effort to explain why the Giriama were so determined in their resistance to British pressure. She shows that even when the political and social structures of a people seem weak, it is unlikely that the population will submit to changes that undermine the economy. Moreover, their very lack of a centralized political or religious organization made the imposition of foreign administration extremely difficult. The British won the war, but their victory was hollow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting new account of the long-overlooked achievement of British-led forces who, against all odds, scored the first major Allied victory of the Second World War Surprisingly neglected in accounts of Allied wartime triumphs, in 1941 British and Commonwealth forces completed a stunning and important victory in East Africa against an overwhelmingly superior Italian opponent. A hastily formed British-led force, never larger than 70,000 strong, advanced along two fronts to defeat nearly 300,000 Italian and colonial troops. This compelling book draws on an array of previously unseen documents to provide both a detailed campaign history and a fresh appreciation of the first significant Allied success of the war. Andrew Stewart investigates such topics as Britain's African wartime strategy; how the fighting forces were assembled (most from British colonies, none from the U.S.); General Archibald Wavell's command abilities and his difficult relationship with Winston Churchill; the resolute Italian defense at Keren, one of the most bitterly fought battles of the entire war; the legacy of the campaign in East Africa; and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1951, Nigerian Land Law and Custom (now with a new preface by Olusoji Elias), the first of its kind, is an excellent comparative study of the whole system of land tenure in Nigeria. There are, of course, a few anthropological attempts, almost invariably designed as or inspired by Government Reports on some specific areas of the country, and their aim is therefore often administrative or fiscal. This book is accordingly an attempt to create a legal order out of the chaos of lay approaches and to examine and systematize, as far as possible, such principles of indigenous tenure as are discernible in available materials in the light of the growing body of case-law. This book will be of value to students and researchers of African law and custom, and of comparative jurisprudence.
