The third Nordic conference on Middle Eastern Studies: Ethnic encounter and culture change Joensuu, Finland, 19-22 June 1995 Trans-Saharan Trade and the West African Discovery of the Mediterranean World Pekka Masonen University of Tampere NB Ethnic encounter and culture change , Bergen/London 1997, 116-42. Please quote or refer only to the published article.* 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. Origins of the Trans-Saharan contacts 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.

Publication details Contents Editorial board Reviews see also: Nineteenth Century Travels, Explorations and Empires Travels, Explorations and Empires 2 Sets of 4 Volumes General Editors: Tim Fulford and Peter J Kitson 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.

The most populous country in Africa, Nigeria has an area of 923,768 sq km (356,669 sq mi). Its name is derived from that of its major river, the Niger. Abuja is the capital and Lagos is the largest city. II LAND AND RESOURCES Much of Nigeria consists of a low plateau cut by rivers, especially the Niger and Benue. Most of the country is suitable for agriculture. Its major non-agricultural economic resources are its massive offshore petroleum and natural-gas deposits.

Title: Cartography and empire building in nineteenth-century West Africa. Author(s): Bassett, Thomas J. Source: Geographical Review; Jul94, Vol. 84 Issue 3, p316, 20p, 3bw Document Type: Article Subject(s): CARTOGRAPHY History 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.

Alfred Russel Wallace : Alfred Wallace : A. R. Wallace : Russel Wallace : Alfred Russell Wallace ( sic Personal Names Index to the Writings of Alfred Russel Wallace 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). The editions of the books indexed here are as follows: Palm Trees of the Amazon S713 (original 1853 edition);
