INDEX OF BACK ISSUES AFRICAN AFFAIRS Tricks of the Imperialist Forked Tongue: Chinese Imperialism By Dr. Daniel Tetteh Osabu-Kle Imperialism is independent of colour and the Chinese are no exception to this rule. An indispensable characteristic of imperialism is racism but because the Chinese are supposed to be of yellow colour being part of the Mongolian race, there is some tendency to assume that the Chinese are not imperialists because they are also discriminated against by the institutionalised racism of the West, and China was virtually colonised by the West. It is undeniable that Western imperialism forced opium down the throat of the Chinese in the so-called opium wars. However, having a previous history of imperialist domination does not by itself prevent any country or people from becoming imperialist and engage in the process of exploitation of the human and material resources of other people.

INDEX OF BACK ISSUES BOOK REVIEW Reviewer: Kofi Akosah-Sarpong in Ottawa, Canada TITLE: KONGO POLITICAL CULTURE AUTHOR: Wyatt MacGaffey PUBLISHER: Indiana University Press, 601 North Morton Street, Bloomington, IN 47404-3797 USA. 2000 PAGES: 269 PRICE: US$39.95 From independence to date, Africans have practiced Socialism, Marxism, Communism, and all brands of democracy. Africans have practiced America’s Presidential system, the French system, and Britain’s Parliamentary system. All these have been imported by Africa's modernizing elite thought by their unsuspecting African followers as ‘educated", ‘learned’, ‘brilliant’, and all that. From Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah to Guinea’s Sekou Toure to Ghana’s Kofi Busia to Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta to Ethiopia’s Mengistu Haile Mariam to Malawi’s Kamuzu Banda to Benin Republic’s Mathieu Kerekou to Zambia’s Kenneth Kaunda Africa has seen not only the continuation of colonial values but also the deliberate copying of alien political values on Africans.

Virtually all of these languages originated in Africa. The most widely spoken indigenous African language is Swahili, spoken by nearly 50 million Africans, followed by Hausa and Yoruba, each with more than 20 million speakers. Several languages have only a few thousand speakers. Scholars generally recognize four African language families: Niger-Congo, Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan, and Khoisan.

AFRICA 1000-1800, AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EUROPEAN SLAVE TRADE
outline
AFRICA The two biggest outside influences were Islam, which initially appeared in Africa around the 8 th century, and the arrival of western Europeans after 1500. The spread of Islam was part of a large-scale regional phenomenon happening across the East. Its influences was strongest on both coasts (it tended to be spread by ship-based trade), and in the area above the Sahara desert. The second phenomenon, the establishment and growth of the Western international slave trade from the 15 th to the 19 th ISLAM The spread of Islam started around 8 th In Eastern Africa, Islamic traders moved down the coast with the ancient monsoon routes, and began the "Islamization" of the Eastern coast before 800 AD. From the 13 th century onward, there was a growth not only of Islamic communities, but also of Islamic-style city-states, which became a major factor in the area's commercial life. In West and Central Africa, Islam penetrated south of the Sahara into the Sudan along overland desert routes rather than by sea trade, and came with traders from North Africa and the Nile Valley. It spread to trading towns on the edge of the Sudan as early as the 8 th century, and from there spread south to commercial centers. It also was spread from Egypt into central and Western Sudan by emigrants seeking new land. The first conversions were voluntary, but after 1030s, some Islamic militants were trying to convert by force. Still, major groups in West Africa, especially below the Niger, remained strongly resistant to Islam.

    Remembering the Congo:
    Patrice Lumumba Since the former slave trading nations of France, Germany, Spain, England, Portugal and the United States convened the Berlin Conference in 1884, Africa has become a victim of artificially imposed boundaries on its territories. It was through the Berlin Conference that these slave trading nations divided Africa among themselves, which ushered in the colonial period in African history. Thus, we can observe a great deal of the strife that exists in Africa today from this backdrop. These colonial configurations that were imposed on Africa, with the assistance of corrupt African leaders cooperating with the system of white supremacy, has caused great harm to the people of Africa. Such is the case of Central Africa where we witness thousands of African people in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Zaire and Tanzania dying on a daily basis from either war or starvation in refugee camps. These deaths have resulted from European manipulation and African leadership cooperation. It is in this context that we should examine the historical backdrop to this region that is not often discussed today. This historical backdrop centers around what was called the Belgium Congo (by the Europeans) that is called

    http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/eurvoya/Trade.html
    The European Voyages of Exploration European overseas expansion in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries initially took two directions. The first was towards the African west coast where the Portuguese were involved in raiding and trading expeditions for products like slaves, ivory, pepper and gold. The second initial direction of expansion was towards the Atlantic Islands. Here, Europeans found exploitable but not necessarily inhabited land where they collected wild products like honey and timber. Because of the lack of arable land in Iberia, colonists eventually returned to settle the land and cultivate products like wheat and ultimately sugar. Sugar was immensely profitable to produce but required large tracts of land and a large labour force for production. For these two reasons, the sugar and slave trade became intimately entwined in the European exploitation of the Atlantic Islands. This exploitation would eventually spread onwards to the Americas.
    The Sugar Plantation
    The capitalist plantation system was an economic system oriented to producing a highly commercialised crop using an archaic social form - slavery - to provide its labour. The profits from sugar production provided the impetus for the development of the plantation system that matured in the Mediterranean and eventually spread across the Atlantic to the Americas. Other commercial crops would be adapted to this system such as cotton, indigo, and tobacco, but sugar was the first. Sugar cane cultivation had its origins in Southwest Asia. From there it was carried to Persia and then to the eastern Mediterranean by Arab conquerors in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Shortly after sugar cane's introduction to the Mediterranean, it was being grown on estates similar to the later plantations of the Americas. By the fourteenth century Cyprus became a major producer using the labour of Syrian and Arab slaves. Eventually sugar made its way to Sicily where a familiar pattern of enslaved or coerced labour, relatively large land units, and well-developed long-range commerce was established. The Portuguese and the Spanish both looked to Sicily as a model to be followed in their own colonies in the Atlantic, and in 1420 Prince Henry sent to Sicily for cane plantings and experienced sugar technicians.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORD The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Africa k KEY Geology and Geography Geologically, recent major earth disturbances have been confined to areas of NW and E Africa. Geologists have long noted the excellent fit (in shape and geology) between the coast of Africa at the Gulf of Guinea and the Brazilian coast of South America, and they have evidence that Africa formed the center of a large ancestral supercontinent known as Pangaea. Pangaea began to break apart in the Jurassic period to form Gondwanaland, which included Africa, the other southern continents, and India. South America was separated from Africa c.76 million years ago, when the floor of the S Atlantic Ocean was opened up by seafloor spreading; Madagascar was separated from it c.65 million years ago; and Arabia was separated from it c.20 million years ago, when the Red Sea was formed. There is also evidence of one-time connections between NW Africa and E North America, N Africa and Europe, Madagascar and India, and SE Africa and Antarctica.

    of Christianity in the Kingdom of kongo are surrounded the Church is indeed becoming indigenous, with bishops of discovering God s story as people reflect on
    http://www.rc.net/africa/catholicafrica/context.htm
    When one thinks of Africa, one is immediately confronted by its vastness, diversities, complexities as well as its mysteriousness. The catholic Church in Africa is wrapped up in these factors which need to be unpacked before anyone can understand the reality of the Church in this Continent. African Vastness
    The total area of the African continent is 30,306,780 square kilometers (equivalent to 11,706,166 square miles), as compared to the USA, whose surface is 9,372,614 square kilometers (equivalent to 3,615,102 square miles). You will not believe it but you can fit in the whole of China, USA, India, Europe, Argentina and New Zealand into the surface of Africa, and still be left with some thousand square kilometers. Cultural and Geographical Diversities
    When we speak of Africa, we must remember that North Africa is completely different from Sub-Saharan Africa. Moreover, each of the regions: Eastern, Western, Central, and Southern differ significantly from each other. Linguistically, Africa is even more complex. Leaving all the dialects aside, we may count about 2,000 different languages and so one can imagine the enormous problem of communication facing 62 Africa nation states today. This language diversity is indeed one of the factors of African under-development. As one travels from one country to another, the way of life may sometimes differ considerably, for example, the main livelihood of the people, the costumes, and the main staple food.
