    Reading Class Struggle in Africa

    Kwame Nkrumah’s writing reads like a text book designed to inform any learner of African studies. Whether the learners are the African workers and peasants to whom the book is dedicated, African pupils or international scholars such as Spelman ADW undergraduates they gain a clear understanding of class struggle in Africa relevant to the time period when the book was published as well as the contemporary context. Much in keeping with the concept of fact making discussed last semester in ADW 111, given the myths and fabrication designed by so-called scholars who embrace a Eurocentric point of view Nkrumah the Ghanaian griot sets out to “write a tale of hunting that glorify not the hunter but the lions and lionesses.” (African Diaspora 4)…

    Shell Oil in Nigeria

    Nigeria is considered to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Many different forms of corruption are familiar to Nigeria including political corruption, bureaucratic corruption, electoral corruption, embezzlement, and bribery. Corruption has even been said to be a viable enterprise in Nigeria due to the involvement of citizens, government officials, and private corporations alike. Two main factors help explain why corruption and bribery are so high in Nigeria, these factors include Nigeria’s complete dependence on the petroleum industry and profit-focused companies taking advantage of a less developed, vulnerable country’s government and social systems.…

    Africa World War II And Its Aftermath Analysis

    The focus for week seven of the course is on ‘Africa, World War II, and its Aftermath’, which is another debated topic between African historians. In class two main arguments stood out, the first being that one outcome of World War II was a revitalisation and strengthening of the colonial states. In comparison, there is no denying that nationalism expanded and became more violent following the war supporting the second argument that World War II began the end of colonialism in Africa. With many different perspectives on the matter one can argue for either side, which this reflection will do with the use of lecture material, chapter 13 of Reid’s textbook and the Atlantic Charter primary source.…

    Imapct of Colonialism on Africa

    In this view of the circumstances that existed during history in regards to colonial Africa. I venture to examine how colonialism is viewed, introducing you to a variety of texts which expose you to different views and debates about what Africa may well have been like today, had the colonization never taken place. The African resistance to colonialism put another perspective on the colonization of Africa by the Europeans and the Western influence Africa faced. Each work shows a different facet of the complex experience of colonized peoples and how European domination served to radically alter their lives, both during the era of colonialism and for generations to come.…

    The Scenes Of Gender Roles, By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

    Starting in the last decades of the 18th century colonialism was the exploitive and deleterious methods of Europeans to perpetuate the oppression of color, specifically Africa. Significant evidence for these treacherous methods are ingrained in not only in text, but in the psychology of postcolonial Africa. While Africa received their hard earned and long deserved freedom in 1957 and on, their internal struggles were not resolved. In fact, they were worsened by the effects of colonialism and severe poverty, racial differences, and a plethora of other European caused calamities. European’s fabrication did not offer an insight as profound as the works based off experience written by African intellectuals. Specifically, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s…

    Challenges of Studying Written and Oral Sources in Africa

    Challenges of Studying Written and Oral Sources in Africa

    One of the biggest issues facing African historians is the fact that the study of actual African History is relatively new. A large majority of the sources available are written from the point of view of Europeans, with an intended audience of Europeans.1 In this egocentric method of reporting history, Africans were viewed more as objects: a people with a past but no history.2 The written “historical” sources provided by imperialists robbed Africans of their voice. The principal challenge facing African historians is to find a way to inject the African voice into the narrative, and thus provide a more accurate representation of the continental history. This task presents more profound questions. What qualities make someone an African? Is it sufficient to be a black person living on the continent? Are there levels of ethnicity? Are the descendants of Africans brought to other parts of the world in the slave trade “Africans”? Ultimately, who decides who is “African”? Equally problematic is the issue regarding what represents a credible source, either written or oral. Each presents unique challenges that must be addressed in order to qualify the value of the information they portend to provide.…
