Family Identity & the State in the Bamako Kafu, c. 1800-c. 1900
The Possibilities of Precolonial West African History
The study of the precolonial era has been a staple part of West African history since its beginning as an academic discipline more than forty years ago. Because of its traditions of empires and states, the West African political narrative conformed easily to the wellestablished forms of historical narrative most common to the discipline of history at the time. Many practitioners of West African history also brought to their study a sense of polit…
The Salt-Gold Alchemy in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Mande World
Given its enduring association with “civilized Africa,” “urban Africa,” “rich Africa,” and “commercial Africa,” it is hardly surprising that the trans-Saharan salt-gold trade caught the imagination of Arab authors between the eighth and sixteenth centuries. We recall, for example, that al-Ya'qubi (872/73), the principal source on the Mande empire of Ghana before al-Bakri's Kitab al-masalik wa-'lmamalik (1067/68) first revealed “commercial Africa”…

Perceptions of Bonduku's Contribution to the Western Sudanese Gold Trade
On his way back from Mossi country in 1888, Louis Binger visited Bonduku, principal town of the Akan state of Gyaman. Commenting erroneously on the city's antiquity, Binger nonetheless appropriately referred to Bonduku's association with gold mining and the gold trade with nearby towns such as Kong and Buna. The town's more distant trading partners, he continiued, included Jenne and other Niger bend towns. In effect, the saltgold trade, to which …

Homo Africanus
From an inquiry into three distinct interpretations of African economic data, we have suggested thathomo africanus is oeconomicusrather thanantiquus. First, while substantivists (traditionalists) and modernists (developmental economists) appropriately subordinatedhomo africanus'economic behavior to social considerations, they mistakenly de-emphasized the role of markets, especially in economies where market contacts were peripheral. Consequently …

Fanon and the Revolutionary Peasantry - the Algerian Case
Numerous commentaries have been written on Frantz Fanon's theory of decolonisation in relation to the peasants, most of them focusing on his claim that they constitute the most revolutionary sector in the Third World. This article critically re-examines what Fanon said-and what others think he said-dealing specifically with generalisations based on his observations of the Algerian peasantry during the war of independence, November 1954 to July 19…
Social Relations in the Trans-Saharan and Western Sudanese Trade
In summarizing, the evidence suggests that during the greater part of the second millenium A.D., the trans-Saharan and western Sudanese trade was embedded in societal frameworks and integrated into existing social structures. It was a socio-economic function which benefited the entire community. Although no fixed national boundaries existed, there were created semi-permanent trading blocks or market networks, which corresponded to the area under …
