Africa in World History
My first academic job in 1962 involved teaching a course on History of Civilization. We had a text that essentially involved Western Civilization with chapters on India, China, and Japan interspersed. Two years later, when I returned from my doctoral thesis research in Africa, my thesis supervisor, William Halperin, recommended me for a ten-week adult education group discussing William McNeill's Rise of the West. I was stunned that in a history o…

Urban Slavery in West and West Central Africa during the Transatlantic Slave Trade
The trade in enslaved captives across the Atlantic Ocean shaped West and West Central Africa’s urban shoreline. Towns adjusted to or were created for service to that trade. In turn, these towns shaped the socioeconomic realities of their hinterlands. Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, this impact was felt nowhere more than among the enslaved and freed-slave migrants who made their way to perceived opportunities on the coast. This a…
The Impact of the Atlantic Slave Trade on the Societies of the Western Sudan
This chapter examines the effects of the slave trade on the institutional structure of Senegambia and the western Sudan and the reproduction of the societies involved. Enslavement does not result from a conscious desire to enslave. The chapter deals only with the slavers, but one-half of every slaving formation was the merchants who sold the slaves and provided the trade goods that rulers, aristocrats, and warriors wanted. The importance of Islam…
Emily S. Burrill. States of Marriage
Emily S. Burrill’s States of Marriage: Gender, Justice, and Rights in Colonial Mali is a history of marriage in the colonial French Soudan (now Mali). It focuses on the district of Sikasso in southern Mali and deals with both changes in French policy and the effects of economic and social change on the ways local people married. It is based on the discussion of marriage policy in colonial archives, court cases, and interviews with both men and wo…

Silke Strickrodt. Afro-European Trade in the Atlantic World
Silke Strickrodt is one of a series of Robin Law students who have completed Ph.D. theses on slaving societies in the Bights of Benin and Biafra. Afro-European Trade in the Atlantic World: The Western Slave Coast c. 1550–c. 1885 is a significantly rewritten version of Strickrodt’s thesis. The area addressed lies between Ouidah and the eastern parts of the Gold Coast. Unlike Asante and Akwamu to the west or Ouidah and Dahomey to the east, it had l…

“He Who Is without Family Will Be the Subject of Many Exactions”
Slaves and Soldiers in the Western Soudan and French West Africa
In his prize-winning monograph on the tirailleurs sénégalais, Myron Echenberg points out that most soldiers in the French colonial army were of slave origin. This article examines the role of slaves in pre-colonial African armies and the problem that the French had in keeping their soldiers alive within a hostile disease environment. The response of Governor Louis Faidherbe was to create a professional unit of African soldiers, the tirailleurs. R…
Myron Echenberg and African Studies in Canada
Myron Echenberg's scholarship resides on the frontier of both African Studies in Canada and historical research in general. He has helped not only to establish African history as a valid field for historical study but also to transform the parameters of history as a discipline, both the opening up of the study of non-Western societies and the increasing focus on newer kinds of history. He made his mark with a prize-winning study of the social his…

The Banamba slave exodus of 1905 and the decline of slavery in the Western Sudan
One of the most important changes to take place during the early colonial period was the transformation from slave labour to free labour. In French West Africa this resulted not from a policy decision by the French administration but from the massive departure of slaves in those societies most reliant on slave labour. The focal event was an exodus from Banamba, a Maraka town which had been a major centre both of the slave trade and of the exploit…
How Europe Underdeveloped Africa
The Slave Trade and Decentralized Societies
This article, based on a review of the relevant literature, argues that the analyses of Andrew Hubbell and Walter Hawthorne can be extended to a general interpretation of the impact of the slave trade on decentralized societies. First, decentralized societies usually defended themselves effectively, forcing slavers both to extend their networks further into the interior and to devise new ways of obtaining slaves. Second, agents of the slave trade…
Social and Economic Factors in the Muslim Revolution in Senegambia
This article is an effort to examine the way in which events during and, in some cases, before the nineteenth century shaped modern Senegambian society. It concludes: (1) That the slave trade contributed to the development of military structures and to the polarization of Senegambian societies between a warrior élite and an industrious Muslim peasant population. (2) That the change from the slave trade to legitimate commerce weakened the élites w…

The Impact of the Atlantic Slave Trade on the Societies of the Western Sudan
Studies of the history of the Atlantic slave trade in Africa have focused on demography and within it on the number of slaves exported from Africa (Curtin 1969; Lovejoy 1982, 1983; Manning 1981). Seen from the perspective of African history, the question of the number exported is a window on larger fields of inquiry and an area open to research, but it is only a small part of the larger question of the impact of the trade on Africa. Working out a…

Studying the History of Those Who Would Rather Forget
Research on oral history tends to be concerned with two very different types of sources. I would refer to them as oral traditions and oral data. Oral traditions are formally preserved, not always as narratives, but in some fixed form. They can, for example, be passed on as songs, as drum names, or as proverbs. They are part of the collective memory of the group and get passed on from generation to generation. They serve a legitimating function an…

African Social History
The term “social history” has not generally been used by historians of Africa. We all read anthropology, but until recently most anthropologists working in Africa have eschewed the time dimension, while historians have often avoided social questions. If we believe with Benedetto Croce that all history is contemporary history (Theory and History of Historiography), that it is concerned with explaining the world we live in, then the social question…
