Glossary of Exploration Terms Explorers of Africa More information on Africa ALBUQUERQUE, AFONSO DE Afonso de Albuquerque (14-1515) was a Portuguese soldier and explorer who sailed to the Spice Islands (the Moluccas, a group of Islands in Indonesia) in 1507-1511, trying to monopolize trade with this area; from Europe, he sailed around Africa to the Indian Ocean. He was appointed the Viceroy of India by King Emmanuel in 1509. He forcibly destroyed the Indian city of Calicut in January, 1510, and took Goa (in southern India) in March, 1510, claiming Goa for Portugal. BATTUTA, ABU ABDULLAH IBN Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta [also spelled Buttuta] (1303-1365), was a Moroccan explorer who traveled through Africa, the Middle East, and parts of the Far East. A Muslim, he set off on a Hajj (a pilgrimage to the holy town of Mecca) from Tangier, Africa, in 1325 and traveled for almost three decades, covering over 75,000 miles (120,700 km) by boat and over land. He did sail his own boat, but was a passenger on many trading boats. In India, Buttuta was appointed a Magistrate of Delhi (1334-1341). He also traveled to China, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, and much of Africa. Buttuta later recorded his adventures in a popular book, "Travels (Rihala) of Ibn Battuta." He died in Fez, Morocco, in 1365.

editorial Mungo Park "Interview with T.C. Boyle" by Mary Heebner An Irish tough from a Jewish New York 'hood, T.Coraghessan Boyle earned a Ph.D. in British Literature from the University of Iowa after attending the Iowa Writer's Workshop in the mid '70s. He completed Water Music in 1981 and won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction with World's End in 1987. His Road to Wellville, published in 1993, was recently made into a film starring Anthony Hopkins. Boyle lives near Santa Barbara with his wife and three children and is currently working on a historical novel examining turn-of-the-twentieth-century psychiatry, schizophrenia, and twisted love among the megawealthy who settled the upper crust of the place he now calls home. Mungo Park: Your first novel is based on an obscure Scottish explorer named Mungo Park. How did you learn of him? T. Coraghessan Boyle: I was doing my Ph.D. in nineteenth-century British literature and was reading John Ruskin, who mentions that Mungo Park was a terrific hero who went to discover the Niger River, but look what he did to his family: he left his wife and kids behind, took off on this adventure and died! So I thought I would examine that. In England, Park's book, Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa, upon which I based Water Music, is well-known. In America, Mungo was pretty much unheard of until I wrote the book.

Month's Details for: May 2003 The Hour Has Come for Mali to Find Her Savior! by Wesley Kawato Across the burning sands of the Sahara Desert lie the blue waters of the Niger River, the lifeblood of Mali. This river helped make Mali the home of some of Africa's most important civilizations. Though Islam has been the dominant religion for 700 years, the people are fairly open to Jesus and the gospel. Before we get to that encouraging development, let us briefly describe the history of Mali. Empires Come, and Empires Go Three empires arose along the banks of the Niger River. The first of these was the Ghana Empire, founded around AD 700 by the Soninke people. Ghana's religion was animistic in nature, and that empire dominated West Africa through the control of trade routes. The Ghana Empire collapsed around AD 1075. Around AD 1200 the Malinke (Mali) Empire began its rise to power, made possible by the wise rule of Soundiata Keita, Mali's first emperor. The empire reached its height around AD 1300, when it conquered the fabled city of Timbuktu. Under Malinke rule the city became a center of learning and trade. The emperors of Mali built grand palaces and libraries in Timbuktu. The conquest of Timbuktu put Mali in touch with Berber traders from North Africa. By AD 1300 the city was already one of several staging points for camel caravans across the Sahara. The Berber merchants who controlled these trade routes had long since converted to Islam. They had soon introduced the new religion to Mali. Members of the royal family were among the early converts, leading the way to a massive people movement to the religion of Mohammed.

99. European Travel Accounts Of Africa - Bryn Mawr College Library for example, was motivated to explore the continent under the auspices of the AfricanAssociation. The sentimentalism employed by mungo park in his account http://www.brynmawr.edu/library/speccoll/guides/travel/africa.html

Bryn Mawr College Library Special Collections Travel Literature Africa Description Census of Related BMC Library Travel Literature Geographical Groups Africa remained largely unexplored by Europeans long after commercial, colonial, and missionary activities had been established in Asia and the Americas. Christian missionaries were among the first Europeans to venture into the interior of Africa, and occasionally they had their experiences published. A seventeenth-century example is Giovanni Antonio Cavazzi's Istorica descrizione de' tre' regni Congo, Matamba et Angola . Interest in Africa increased as the wealth of the continent's resources became apparent. In 1734, a time when the commodification of the African people depended upon their dehumanization at the hands of European colonizers, William Snelgrave wrote a formulaic description of European activity in Africa entitled A New Account of Some Parts of Guinea, and the Slave-Trade Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa is a case in point.
