Trans-Saharan Trade In 1824, hugh clapperton visited Kano, being again the first European in this whohad left Tripoli in 1869 in order to explore Central Africa, was told http://www.hf.uib.no/smi/paj/masonen.html
Extractions: However, the notion that Africans have always been nothing but passive objects in their encounter with other civilisations, "having no interests to explore the world outside their own home village," is both oversimplified and ahistorical. The establisment and success of regular trans-Saharan trade, for example, was not possible without the active participation of West Africans who understood perfectly well, how to utilize the new opportunities offered by the commercial contacts to the Islamic world. Yet, in the authorized African historiography, this point is usually passed over with few words only. The regular commercial and cultural exchange between Western Africa and the Mediterranean world did not start properly until the 8th century AD. Yet the beginning of trans-Saharan trade was not such a sudden and dramatic event like the coming of Europeans to America, but it had a long history of sporadic encounters for more than 1000 years. When and how the very first contacts took place is still obscure, although their origins can be traced already to the prehistoric times. Archaeologists have, for example, found in southern Mauritania some copper objects of Hispano-Moroccan style, which are dated to the 11th century BC. The reciprocal action between Moroccan and Mauritanian prehistoric inhabitants was possible, for the northern and southern 50 mm isohyets are close together in western Sahara, forming there a kind of natural corridor along which the desert can be crossed.

Extractions: Advisory Editor: Tim Youngs The Romantic Period saw the advance of the massive British imperial expansion that was to make it dominant for most of the nineteenth century. There was a corresponding expansion in travel writings, which, highly popular in their own time, seemed to bring exotic realms within the grasp of the reading public and were a source for ethnographic and cultural information about other societies. Students of British history and colonialism will find much to interest them in this collection. The selection of writings reflects the diversity of the literature, revealing something of the cultural and gender difference of the travellers, as well as fuelling debates on colonialism, natural history, anthropology and slavery.

Extractions: AFRICANS Colonization History Geographic Term(s): AFRICA, West Abstract: Examines a series of 19th-century map elements of West Africa as texts that formed part of political discourse about the colonization of Africa. Use of cartography in empire building during the period; Maps as instruments and representations of expanding European influence in Africa; Mapping the terrain of conquest; Use of lines, colors and symbols for land colonization. Full Text Word Count: ISSN: CARTOGRAPHY AND EMPIRE BUILDING IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY WEST AFRICA ABSTRACT. Maps served as both instruments and representations of expanding European influence into Africa during the nineteenth century. They contributed to empire building by promoting, assisting, and legitimating the projection of European power. Through the use of cartographical elements such as color, cartouches, vignettes, boundary lines, and blank spaces, mapmakers participated in the conquest and colonization of Africa. A familiar image of the late-nineteenth-century scramble for Africa is that of European diplomats at the Berlin Conference from 15 November 1884 to 26 February 1885 huddled around a map of the continent as they drew the boundaries of their purported possessions and spheres of influence. That cartographic partition of Africa inextricably linked map-making and empire building. Yet the act of drawing lines on maps is only one example of how cartography furthered imperialism. Maps were used in various ways to extend European hegemony over foreign and often unknown territory.
Personal Names Index To The Writings Of Alfred Russel Wallace Alfred Russel Wallace Alfred Wallace A. R. Wallace Russel Wallace Alfred Russell Wallace (sic) Personal Names Index to the Writings. of Alfred Russel Wallace http://www.wku.edu/~smithch/wallace/names.htm
Extractions: The following compilation represents an index of personal names (and a few organizations) that appeared in Wallace's writings. To produce the index I examined every page of every item listed in the "Wallace Bibliography" list, keeping track both of each name that appeared, and how many times it appeared. Only those names that Wallace referred to in more than simple citation terms are included (i.e., names that appeared as part of systematic synonymies, straight citations, etc. are not included unless Wallace also mentioned the persons involved in some further fashion in the main text of his writing). Once I had a "raw" list of names, I attempted to verify and/or distinguish the persons involved using various reference tools (Wallace often refers to people by their last name only, so a few errors are possible in this regard).
