Library Catalog The History of Cartography related to Africa Maps and the history of science The history of western mapping and cartography is interwoven with many important themes and trends: the history of navigation and exploration, economic development and the expansion of European mercantile interests, the encounter with non-western peoples (and the subsequent re-introduction of classical traditions into the west), the rivalries of competing European interests, the relationship of scholars and elites within and among nation states, the development of printing, the increasing need for control over the newly encountered territories from the contact period through colonialism, along with the technology of integrating text and graphics in printed works, the economics of commercial publishing, and so many more topics that one way or another impact upon this story. Herodotus (c. 484-425 BC) is considered the first known historian of the western world. He reported (quite skeptically) the Phoenician circumnavigation of Africa (Waterfield 1998, 4:42). He also documented a scribe's account of the sources of the Nile, which was accepted until the late 19th century: "The account of Herodotus, based on a story told him by a scribe, that the Nile had its source between the two conical peaks of Crophi and Mophi and flowed in two channels to the north and south had considerable influence on future geographers. It accounted for the undue prolongation of the Nile to the south and for the erroneous ascription of the same source to the Nile and the Zambezi" (Lane-Poole 1950:3). The tenacity of this account is truly astounding, as evidenced by the fact that David Livingstone "was still pursuing the Herodotan myth" in the middle of the 19

Geographer Thomas Bassett wants to put African mapmaking on the map. Toward that goal, Bassett, a geography professor at the UI, has written and provided illustrations for one of the first reviews of indigenous African maps, hoping along the way to dispel some of the major myths about mapmaking in sub-Saharan Africa. Bassett's review is published in "The History of Cartography: Cartography in the Traditional African, American, Arctic, Australian, and Pacific Societies," Vol. 2, Book 3. In January, the volume received the American Historical Association's Brested Prize for the best English-language book in the ancient and medieval history of Africa, North America and Latin America.

Geography African Mapmaking is Underappreciated Bassett recently completed an extensive inventory of indigenous mapmaking in sub-Saharan Africa. What he discovered was a heritage rich in unusual artifacts and representations. Among the Luba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lukasa memory boards made of wood, shells, and beads enabled praise singers to recount the history of a specific Luba king. The neighboring Tabwa people charted the path of mythical ancestral heroes on the backs and chests of initiates to the Butwa Society. The kingdom of Bamum in western Cameroon in the early 20th century was the site of one of the most ambitious mapmaking enterprises. Led by King Njoya, the Bamum people developed an alphabet and then undertook a major topographic survey of the kingdom, involving 60 people who made 30 stops over 52 days. "The map's form and content nicely illustrate the political use of maps," says Bassett, noting that the king promoted his political goals of consolidation by presenting images of rule.

BANTU LANGUAGES BANTU LANGUAGES. The greater part of Africa south of the equator possesses but one linguistic family so far as its native inhabitants are concerned. This clearly-marked division of human speech has been entitled the Bantu, a name invented by Dr W. H. I. Bleek, and it is, on the whole, the fittest general term with which to designate the most remarkable group of African languages. 2 From this statement are excepted those tongues classified as semi-Bantu. In some languages of the Lower Niger and of the Gold Coast the word for fowl is generally traceable to a root kuba. This form kuba also enters the Cameroon region, where it exists alongside of -koko. Kuba may have arisen independently, or have been derived from the Bantu kuku. etymology of word-roots is concerned. Further evidence of slight etymological and even grammatical relationships may be traced as far west as the lower Niger and northern and western Gold Coast languages (and, in some word-roots, the Mandingo group). The Fula language would offer some grammatical resemblance if its suffixes were turned into prefixes (a change which has actually taken place in the reverse direction in the English language between its former Teutonic and its modern Romanized conditions; cf. offset and set-off, upstanding and standing-up ). The legends and traditions of the Bantu peoples themselves invariably point to a northern origin, and a period, not wholly removed from their racial remembrance, when they were strangers in their present lands. Seemingly the Bantu, somewhat early in their migration down the east coast, took to the sea, and not merely occupied the islands of Pemba and Zanzibar, but travelled as far afield as the Comoro archipelago and even the west coast of Madagascar. Their invasion of Madagascar must have been fairly considerable in numbers, and they doubtless gave rise to the race of black people known traditionally to the Hovas as the. Va-zimba.

Listening Notes Tape 1: Textures and Techniques Monophony - Muezzin call to prayer . Daily prayer is one of the "pillars," or anchoring points, of Islam. It occurs five times daily, and is preceded by a muezzin's call to prayer. This example is one of many various versions. It was recorded at Banfora near the frontier between Burkina Faso (formerly known as Upper Volta) and Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). Monophony - "The Hunt" . The player of this piece comes from the Djerma people who live along the Niger river. Arab influence is reflected in the use of the fiddle and in the highly ornamented melody. Polyphony - Flute duet of the Dogon people . The Dogon people are situated in Mali. The flutes in this duet are transverse and are indigenous to the Dogon. Polyphony - Praise song - North Ghana . This song celebrates the achievements of a Dagbamba village chief. Dagbamba society, like the Asante, is highly complex and hierarchical. The melody in this piece is played on the violin, called gondze Homophony - "How Sweet the Name"
